THE JOINT SECRETARY CUM CHIEF VIGILANCE OFFICER, BUILDING CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT BIHAR, PATNA ----------- 2. 29.3.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The petitioners were proceeded with departmentally on 15 charges. The submission is that notwithstanding their exoneration they continue under suspension. Learned counsel for the petitioners fairly acknowledges that the disciplinary authority has differed with the enquiry report of exoneration and issued second show cause notice to which the petitioners have replied also on 9.10.2009. 2 Let the departmental proceedings be concluded expeditiously, in accordance with law, within a maximum period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. This Court is not persuaded that at this stage, it would be sufficient for exercise of jurisdiction to interfere with the suspension when the authorities have the jurisdiction to proceed on difference of opinion when the departmental proceeding is deemed to continue. If the petitioners does not co-operate, the authorities shall also be at liberty to proceed ex parte after recording their satisfaction so that the proceeding may be concluded within the aforesaid period. If the proceedings are not concluded within the time fixed by the Court, the suspension shall stand revoked upon expiry of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order before the respondents when the departmental proceedings may otherwise continue. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
