DIRECTOR GENERAL AND INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE, OLD SECRETARIAT, PATNA. 3. INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE, BHAGALPUR ZONE, BHAGALPUR. 4. DEPUTY INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE, EASTERN RANGE, BHAGALPUR. 5. THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, BHAGALPUR. 6. THE OFFICER-IN-CHARGE, NATHNAGAR, BHAGALPUR. ... ... RESPONDENTS. ----------- 3. 19.8.2009. Petitioners at the relevant time served as A.S.I. and Constable. They have been dismissed from service without initiating a departmental proceeding by resorting to the powers contained in Sub Clause (2)(B) of Article 311(2) of the Constitution of India. Their appeal filed against the dismissal order has also been dismissed by the appellate authority. It appears without availing the remedy of memorial, both petitioners have approached this Court by filing the present writ application impugning the dismissal/appellate order. Having heard counsel for the - 2 - N.H./ petitioners and the State, I am of the opinion that before the petitioners approached this Court, they should have availed the remedy of memorial provided under Rule 853(A) of the Bihar Police Manual. Both the petitioners should prefer the memorial before the competent authority within one month from the date of receipt of the certified copy of this order and the memorial should be disposed of by the competent authority within another one month from the date of its receipt. This application is, accordingly, disposed of. ( V.N. Sinha,J.)
