IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13213 of 2009 KRISHNA KANHAIYA PRASAD SINGH@ Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 2. 13.10.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner has been placed under suspension by an order dated 29.1.2009 and memo of charges with enclosures issued on 16.3.2009. He stated to have filed his reply to the memo of charges also. This Court is satisfied that the grounds urged on behalf of the petitioner on facts to demonstrate that the departmental proceedings are unsustainable are in the nature of his defence to be more appropriately examined in the departmental proceedings itself. This Court expects that since the petitioner has already filed his reply to the charges, the departmental proceedings shall be concluded expeditiously preferably within a maximum period of six months provided, the petitioner himself cooperates. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
