IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.1473 of 2011 Mumukshu Kumar Chaudhary son of Late Jagdish Chaudhary, Permanent resident of village Palatpura, P.O. Palatpura, Police Station Manpur, District Nalanda, Erstwhile Block Development Officer, Govindpur Block, District Nawada, presently under suspension having head quarter at office of Divisional Commissioner, Saran at Chhapra. …. Petitioner Versus 1. Mr. Anup Mukerjee, I.A.S., the Chief Secretary, Government of Bihar, Patna. 2. Mr. Deepak Kumar, I.A.S., the Principal Secretary, Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms (Department of General Administration) Government of Bihar, Patna. 3. The State of Bihar. … Opposite Parties ----------- 3 28.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the opposite parties. Opposite Party No.2 is also present in person. It is not in controversy any more that enhanced subsistence allowance has been paid. Learned counsel for the petitioner is also right in his submission that the Court did not issue any futile direction for payment of interest. The same had to be complied with. Opposite Party No.2 assures the Court that it shall be complied with. The Court expects the opposite parties to act reasonably. On the earlier occasion, this Court had already observed that if the departmental proceedings had been concluded after the time fixed, which counsel for the opposite party disputes, the order may or may not be a nullity which could be examined appropriately in a fresh proceeding only. It needs no reiteration that if ultimately the fresh orders in the 2 departmental proceedings are not sustainable in the law, it naturally remains open for the petitioner to seek all necessary consequential relief before the appropriate forum. The proceedings stands disposed. Md. Ibrarul ( Navin Sinha, J.)
