IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.18175 of 2009 1. JAI PRAKASH RAI S/O LATE RADHA RAI R/O VILL.- SIKARI TOLA, P.S.- SHAHAKUND, DISTT.- BHAGALPUR Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, BHAGALPUR 3. THE BLOCK DEVELOPMENT OFFICER NARAYANPUR, DISTT.- BHAGALPUR ----------- 2. 17.3.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner was suspended on 28.6.2004. This Court in C.W.J.C. No. 8892 of 2009 directed expeditious conclusion of the departmental proceedings. His order of suspension has then been revoked on 24.8.2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner very fairly acknowledges the legal difficulty that how the period of suspension is to be treated, is a matter to be finally determined at the conclusion of the departmental proceedings. It goes without saying that this observation shall naturally remain dependent on the challenge laid down by the petitioner to the departmental proceedings itself in C.W.J.C. No. 3260 of 2010. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
