Head Assistant, Nagar Parishad, Nawada …Respondents ----------- For the petitioners: Mr. Singh Sanjay Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. K.K. Jha, SC – XVIII --- 2 29/1/2010 By this writ petition the petitioner, a Ward Councilor of Nagar Parishad, Nawada, has approached this court contending, inter alia, that the audit report contained in Annexure -1 though has been sent to the Executive Officer of the said Nagar Parishad, yet no action has been taken. It is worth noting that the audit has been done at the behest of the Accountant General of the State of Bihar. If there is any kind of irregularity in the functioning of the Nagar Parishad, it is obligatory of the State Government to see that appropriate action is taken. 2 In view of the aforesaid, we direct the Principal Secretary, Urban Development and Housing Department, New Secretariat, Patna, 2nd respondent herein, to take appropriate action, as advised in law, keeping in view the audit report which has been brought on record as Annexure -1. Requisite action shall be taken within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order passed today. If the competent authority of the State Government feels that a fiscal irregularity can be exonerated that would be most unwarranted feeling by any executive. Hence, the time frame. With the aforesaid direction, the writ petition stands disposed of. A free copy of the order be handed over to Mr. Kaushal kumar Jha, learned counsel for the State to onward transmission to the 2nd respondent to do the needful. Neyaz/ (Dipak Misra, CJ.)
