IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12699 of 2010 RAJENDRA NATH BARMAN S/O LATE SURESH CHANDRA BURMAN R/O MOHALLA- DURGA COLONY NO.1, KATIHAR, P.S.- KATIHAR, DISTT.- KATIHAR, AT PRESENT ACCOUNTANT, M.J.M. MAHILA COLLEGE, KATIHAR. VERSUS 1. THE BHUPENDRA NARAYAN MANDAL UNIVERSITY LALOONAGAR, MADHEPURA, THROUGH ITS REGISTRAR. 2. THE VICE CHANCELLOR, B.N.M.U., MADHEPURA. 3. THE REGISTRAR, B.N.M.U., MADHEPURA. 4. THE PRINCIPAL, M.J.M. MAHILA COLLEGE, KATIHAR. ----------- 02 29.10.2010 The petitioner is a class-III employee in a constituent College under the B.N. Mandal University. He has been suspended by the orders of the Registrar. He challenges the same on the ground that it is mala fide. It is pointed out by the University that departmental proceedings have been initiated. Petitioner states that no charges have yet been framed. Be that as it may, in view of the fact that the departmental proceedings have been initiated, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter at this stage. However, I direct that the charges must be framed and served on the petitioner within 15 days and thereafter the Registrar/Inquiry Officer would conclude the departmental proceedings within six months. If that is not done then the suspension order would stand revoked provided that the delay is not occasioned by the conduct of the petitioner. It goes without saying that the petitioner is entitled to be paid subsistence allowance during the period of suspension which shall be paid in time regularly. With these observations and directions, the writ petition is disposed of. Trivedi/ (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
