IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3763 of 2008 Om Prakash Sah, son of Sri Jawahar Sah, Company Commander, Bihar Home Guard, Ara, in the office of District Commandant Home Guard, Ara, resident of village Barahiya, Mubarakpur, Via Ekma, PS Manjhi, district Chapra – Petitioner. Vs. 1. The State of Bihar through the Chief Secretary, Bihar, Patna. 2. Director General, Bihar Home Guard, Chhajjubagh, Patna. 3. District Commandant, Home Guard, Ara. 4. District Commandant, Home Guard, Siwan. 5. Divisional Commandant, Bihar Home Guard, Head office Chajjubagh, Patna. 6. Dy. Commandant, D.I.G. Patna Home Guard, Chajjubagh, Patna – Respondents. 3 19.4.2011 In this writ petition, a prayer has been made to quash the departmental proceeding. Charge memo has already been served on the petitioner. It is pleaded by the petitioner that when the enquiry was conducted, five witnesses were examined. The petitioner claims that the five witnesses were permitted to be present when each of them was being examined and cross examined. Copy of the evidence was handed over to the petitioner. It appears that at that stage he did not produce evidence but later he has come to this court to say that he was not well and that he was not given proper opportunity in the case. In the circumstances I do not think that it is a proper stage for this court to interfere with the proceeding. The petitioner is directed to appear in the proceeding if he so likes. The departmental authorities should fix a date within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of the order and conclude the proceeding if not already concluded. This writ petition is disposed of with the aforesaid observation. haque ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
