IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5812 of 2009 DR. SANJAY KUMAR, SON OF SHRI SATNARAYAN PRASAD, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE AND P.O. BARA BARIYARPUR, P.S. MOTIHARI, DISTT. EAST CHAMPARAN, PRESENT ADDRESS; DIKCHHA CHILD CARE, HOSPITAL ROAD, SITAMARHI, P.S. AND DISTT. SITAMARHI. ------- PETITIONER Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE CHIEF SECRETARY, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA. 2. SECRETARY, KARMIC AND ADMINISTRATIVE REFORMS DEPT., BIHAR, PATNA. 3. DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, SITAMARHI. 4. DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, SHEOHAR. 5. COMMISSIONER, TIRHUT DIVISION, MUZAFFARPUR. 6. SHRI DAYA SHANKAR BAHADUR, DEPUTY COLLECTOR (REVENUE), SHEOHAR. ------- RESPONDENTS. ----------- 3. 14/5/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Petitioner claims to be a public spirited person. He wants this Court to direct all heads of Government Departments to ensure that no Government Official wastes office hour by listening to any religious discourse or attending any non-official function. This kind of declaration is not required to be issued because proper conduct for a Government or Public Official is already embedded in Rules and Code of Conduct. It goes without saying that all Public Officials and Government Officials are required to make best effort to adhere to the Code of Conduct. It is expected that the higher officials will remind their subordinates of the Rules governing Code of Conduct if an occasion arises for that. The petitioner is given liberty of approaching high 2 officials including the Chief Secretary for that purpose. With this observation, this writ application is disposed of. S. Ali (Shiva Kirti Singh, ACJ.) (Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
