IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3785 of 1997 Bhupendra Singh, son of late Chandradeo Singh, resident of Village Ushari Chandpura, P.S. Taraiya, District- Saran, at present posted as Sub Judge, Chas, P.S. Chas, District- Bokaro. ---------- Petitioner. Versus 1. The Hon’ble Patna High Court, through the Registrar General of the Hon’ble High Court, Patna. 2. The Registrar General of the Hon’ble Patna High Court, Patna. 3. The Registrar (Establishment), the Hon’ble Patna High Court, Patna. 4. The Registrar (Inspection), Hon’ble Patna High Court, Patna. 5. The State of Bihar. ----------- Respondents. ----------- 4. 20.9.2010 None appears on behalf of the petitioner. Heard Mr. Amit, learned Assistant Counsel to Standing Counsel No.19 for respondent no.1, and Mr. Piyush Lal, learned Assistant Counsel to Additional Advocate General No.3 for the Patna High Court. This writ petition has been preferred by a former Sub-ordinate Judge of the Bihar Judiciary to expunge the adverse C.C.R. recorded by the Patna High Court on the administrative side. The Patna High Court has placed on record its counter affidavit. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the respondents. It appears that the petitioner, at the relevant point of time, was posted as Sub-ordinate Judge, Saharsa. 2 This Court had received a complaint against him with respect to a litigation pending in his Court, one of the litigants alleging certain impropriety in conducting judicial proceedings. The same were examined by this Court, and issued show-cause notice to the petitioner. He had shown cause and, on consideration of the materials on record as well as the report of the learned District & Sessions Judge, the Standing Committee of the High Court at its meeting held on 29.1.1997, recorded the following entry in the petitioner’s CCR: “… The Officer be administered the punishment of censure…” It appears on a perusal of the materials placed before us that the punishment of censure was indeed well merited, and no interference is called for. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. Vinay/ ( S. K. Katriar,J. ) (Birendra Prasad Verma, J.)
