IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2005 of 2009 ANIL KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 10.2.2009 There is no dispute that the order passed by the Director-in-Chief of the Health Department in a disciplinary proceeding as against Class III/ Class IV is appealable before the Secretary of the Health Department. That being so, counsel for the petitioner is permitted to withdraw this application with a liberty to file an appeal before the Secretary of the Department against the order of punishment of the petitioner. It is expected that if such an appeal is filed within a period of 15 days from today the same will be disposed of by the Secretary by a speaking order within six months of filing of such appeal. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is permitted to be withdrawn. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
