IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.270 of 2011 Rama Shankar Jha Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ----------- 5. 5.7.2011 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and learned counsel for the State. Perused the order of the writ Court whereby the writ petition preferred by the appellant has been dismissed without interfering with order of punishment by which one increment has been withheld with cumulative effect. An attempt was made on behalf of the appellant to persuade us to read various orders of the Government to show that there was already delegation made in favour of the appellant. This was to counter the charge that the appellant writ petitioner had exercised powers and jurisdiction vested by statutory provisions in a superior officer i.e. Assistant Registrar of Cooperatives. The order imposing punishment contained in Annexure-4 in the records of the writ case discloses that such defence was considered by the authorities and they found that the delegation made was for limited works which could be described as routine or daily works and not for certain statutory acts which were actually done by the petitioner/appellant without jurisdiction. The writ Court has not found any good ground to interfere because it is neither a case of no evidence nor involves mala fide. 2 Hence, we are of the view that the Enquiry Officer and the Disciplinary Authority have considered all the relevant materials for coming to their conclusions and there is no good reason for this court to differ from the opinion expressed by the Authorities. In that view of the matter the appeal is dismissed. Mkc/ (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) ( Shivaji Pandey,J.)
