IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.970 of 2008 RAM SUFAL JHA . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 2/ 18/12/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner, a constable, has been dismissed from service for unauthorized absence. In his defence he admits the absence, but seeks to explain it. Once unauthorized absence in a disciplined uniformed service over a long period is admitted, and the explanation is considered as acceptable, admitted charges need no further proof. Additionally the petitioner was given a show cause notice and participated before the final orders were passed. In paragraph-10 of the writ application he represents that he was told to file an appeal. He conceals that he did file an appeal which – in paragraph-15 of the counter affidavit is stated to have been dismissed on 11.6.1999, when he has now filed the instant writ application in the year-2008. Whether it be the merits, concealment or delay in seeking relief, there is no merit in this application on any count. The writ application is dismissed. KC/ ( Navin Sinha, J.)
