THE STATE OF BIHAR REPRESENTED THROUGH THE CHIEF SECRETARY, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA 2. THE SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF PERSONNEL AND ADMINISTRATIVE REFORMS, BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE SPECIAL SECRETARY, DEPRTMENT OF PERSONNEL AND ADMINISTRATIVE REFORMS, BIHAR, PATNA 4. THE MEMBER, BOARD OF REVENUE, BIHAR, PATNA 5. THE DEPUTY SECRETARY, null DEPARTMENT OF PERSONNEL AND ADMINISTRATIVE REFORMS, BIHAR, PATNA ----------- 3/ 22/01/2010 This matter has been listed under the heading “to be mentioned” at the request of the learned counsel for the State. It is urged on behalf of the State that charge-sheet has been submitted against the petitioner as far back as 1991. He relies upon a Government instruction dated 11.9.2002 to urge that in view of the charge-sheet already having been submitted, the case of the petitioner was required to be kept under sealed cover. It appears from the order dated 6.1.2010 that this Court proceeded on the premise of an inordinately delayed criminal trial when absence of the charge-sheet was not one of the grounds. Clause-6 of Circular dated 11.9.2002 relied upon by the learned counsel for the respondents itself 2 mandates consideration of his case in accordance therewith. The order, therefore, requires no modification. KC/ ( Navin Sinha, J.)
