IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1182 of 2009 Dr.Shubhash Chandra Jha . Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors . ----------- 3 30.6.2011 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing for the State. Petitioner’s prayer is for quashing of notification contained in memo no. 228 (9) dated 2.3.2005, whereby the petitioner has been awarded punishment of censure along with stoppage of two increments of pay with non cumulative effect. The impugned punishment order has been challenged by the petitioner on the ground that it was never submitted to him and also despite the fact that on the date of inspection of Civil Sub- Divisional Officer, Arrah he was very much present at Koilwar. The punishment has been awarded without conducting the departmental proceeding. On perusal of the writ application as well as the counter affidavit, I do not find that any illegality has been committed by awarding punishment of censure with stoppage of two increments with non-cumulative effect. The writ application is dismissed. 2 However, petitioner has not filed any appeal. He has liberty to avail alternative remedy, if available. A. Kumar ( Mridula Mishra, J.)
