IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8342 of 2011 ARCHANA, wife of Sanjeev Nayan, resident of A-10/1, Siya Chandrakiya Complex, near R.M.S. Colony, P.S.- Kankarbagh, District- Patna. …..Petitioner. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR, through the Secretary, Department of Social Welfare, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 2. The Deputy Secretary, Department of Social Welfare, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 3. The Director, Integrated Child Development Scheme, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. ..........Respondents. ----------- 02- 11.5.2011 Heard Mr. S.M. Shabbir Alam for the petitioner, and learned Assistant Counsel to Mr. A.N. Sinha, Government Pleader No.11. This writ petition is directed against the order dated 6.4.2011 (Annexure-1), issued by the State Government in the department of Social Welfare, whereby the petitioner has been placed under suspension. Learned counsel for the petitioner has advanced elaborate submissions while assailing the validity of the impugned order. 2. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties. It appears to us that, in view of the report regarding irregularities committed by the petitioner (and other Anganwari Sevikas), show-cause notice was issued to her to 2 explain her position. On a consideration of the cause shown by the petitioner, the respondent authorities came to the conclusion that a departmental proceeding has to be initiated against her and she has, therefore, been placed under suspension by the impugned order. In view of the position that the respondent authorities have taken the decision to initiate departmental proceeding against the petitioner, after issuance of show-cause notice the impugned order of suspension having been passed. We do not find any ground for interference with the order of suspension. 3. There is no merit in this writ petition and is accordingly dismissed. (S.K. Katriar, J.) S.K.Pathak/
