IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.7440 of 2008 DINESH KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 03/ 03.7.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. 2. Petitioner is aggrieved by the Resolution of the State Government dated 26.7.2007, Annexure-1, whereudner he has been placed under suspension in connection with a departmental proceeding, which was initiated as far back as on 19.8.2003 when the charge sheet in form ‘Ka’ was issued, which was received by the petitioner on 17.9.2003 and he filed his written defence on 22.9.2003, but has been placed under suspension by the impugned resolution dated 26.7.2007, Annexure-1. 3. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he along with three other Sub-Divisional Officers were proceeded against charge sheet dated 19.8.2003, out of the three, Vijay Narain Singh was placed under suspension, Radha Mohan Prasad was placed under suspension but his suspension order was quashed by another Single Judge of this Court under orders dated 3.3.2008, passed in CWJC No. 2606 of 2008. It is submitted that there is nothing to distinguish the case of the petitioner with that of Vijay Narain Singh and Radha Mohan Prasad. Such statement has been made in paragraph nos. 12 to 14 of this writ application and, accordingly, his suspension order be also quashed. 4. Counsel for the State, however, opposes the prayer as the proceeding itself is likely to be concluded within two weeks. He - 2 - further states that the case of the petitioner is different from that of Vijay Narain Singh and Radha Mohan Prasad. 5. Instead of myself examining the rival submissions, I deem it expedient to direct the authority which placed the petitioner under suspension to examine the aforesaid submission and if the case of the petitioner is similar to that of Vijay Narain Singh and Radha Mohan Prasad then his suspension be also revoked. Order examining the case of the petitioner with that of aforesaid two persons should be considered and passed as early as possible, in any case within one month from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order. In the event no such order is passed within the aforesaid time then the suspension of the petitioner shall be revoked. 6. This application is, accordingly, disposed of. Arjun/ (V.N. Sinha, J.)
