IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1454 of 2010 DR. PRAMOD KUMAR SINGH S/O LATE LALIT KISHORE SINGH R/O MOH- A/28, BUDHA COLONY, P.S. BUDHA COLONY, PATNA-800000, DISTT. PATNA. VERSUS 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE SECRETARY HEALTH DEPTT., GOVT. OF BIHAR, NEW SECRETARIAT BUILDING, BAILEY ROAD, PATNA-800001 2. THE DEPUTY SECRETARY HEALTH DEPTT., GOVT. OF BIHAR, NEW SECRETARIAT BUILDING, BAILEY ROAD, PATNA-800001 3. THE DIRECTOR-IN-CHIEF HEALTH SERVICES, GOVT. OF BIHAR, NEW SECRETARIAT BUILDING, BAILEY ROAD, PATNA-800001 4. THE ACCOUNTANT GENERAL, BIHAR BIRCHAND PATEL MARG, PATNA. ----------- 02 30.06.2010 The petitioner was in health service of the State. For sometime, he was posted at Magadh Medical College & Hospital, Gaya. He superannuated on 26.06.1998. Upon his superannuation, he was receiving only 90% of his pensionary benefits. In 1999, he was notified that a proceeding under Rule 55 of the Civil Services (CCA) Rules, 1930 were started against him. He filed his show cause. He alleges that he heard nothing thereafter. Recently, he has come to know that final orders in those departmental proceedings were passed on 23.11.2004 (Annexure-7), which he intends to challenge in this writ petition. In the facts aforesaid, the order was passed in a duly constituted proceeding in the year 2004, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter. Petitioner, if so advised, has statutory remedy, as may be available to him, as against the said order. In case, such an appeal is filed, the authorities would consider the same on merits, rather than, dismiss the same on ground of delay, considering that he is a retired senior citizen. The writ petition stands dismissed. Trivedi (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
