IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.499 of 2006 BIBHUTI PRASAD SINGH SON OF SHREE SARYUG SINGH, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE HILSA MAI, P.S. HILSA DISTRICT NALANDA AT PRESENT POSTED AND WORKING AS JUNIOR ENGINEER AT SISAI UNDER THE DEPARTMENT OF DRINKING WATER SANITATION (D.W.S.)GUMLA DIVISION, P.O. SISAI, DISTRICT GUMLA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3 25/10/2010 It is a matter of pure accounting of the materials for which charge was given to the petitioner when he came to be posted as a Junior Engineer under the Public Health Engineering Department in terms of annexure-5. The respondents authorities have issued his Last Pay Certificate with an endorsement that the petitioner must account for a sum of Rs.1,27,150/- as the price of the materials for which no accounting was done or charge was given by him before he left for Jharkhand on re-allocation of cadre. Submission of the learned counsel does merit consideration that the endorsement has been made in the Last Pay Certificate without giving opportunity to the petitioner on this score. This writ application is disposed of with a - 2 - direction that the petitioner will report to the Executive Engineer, Public Health Jehanabad Division, Jehanabad (respondent no. 5) and render his accounts and explanations for the so called materials which were not accounted for and charge was not made over. If the petitioner offers satisfactory explanation then the endorsement made on his L.P.C. will have to be re- worked and if not the respondents will be free to proceed in the matter in accordance with law. Since it is an old matter, the Court directs that a decision will be reached by the respondents authorities within six months from the date the petitioner reports before respondent no. 5 with a copy of this order. This writ application is disposed of with the above direction. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
