IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.9976 of 2009 SARVA NARAIN KANTH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 7.9.2009 Heard Counsel for the petitioner and the Counsel appearing for the State. Petitioner has filed this application for quashing the charge-sheet submitted against him under Form-K in respect of a departmental proceeding. Petitioner’s case is that departmental proceeding has been initiated without providing him an opportunity to place his stand before the authorities and without asking any explanation. On perusal of the charge-sheet and other documents annexed with the writ application, I do not find any illegality in the same. Since the departmental proceeding has been initiated against the petitioner and charge- sheet furnished. It will be proper for the petitioner that he will file his show cause, face the departmental proceeding and if the charges are not proved against him, naturally he shall be - 2 - exonerated from all the charges. The writ application is disposed of with the above observation/direction. (Mridula Mishra,J.) A.Kumar
