IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3974 of 2006 INDERDEO RAM Versus BHARAT SANCHAR NIGAM LIMITD &ORS ----------- 04. 05/08/2008 Petitioner wants an early conclusion of the departmental proceeding initiated against him in 2001 for which charges were framed and served on 3.9.2002 as would be evident from annexure-4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents, however, states that they are willing to conclude the departmental enquiry at the earliest provided petitioner co-operates in the same. It is a matter in which CBI also seems to have launched a case. This could be one of the reasons that petitioner does not want to co-operate in the departmental enquiry. In view of the above rival position the Court disposes of the writ application by giving liberty to the respondents that they have freedom to proceed in the matter provided there is evidence on record that notices have gone to the petitioner and he is deliberately trying to delay in conclusion of the enquiry on one pretext or the other, if the enquiry has not concluded already. The writ application stands disposed of with the above observation. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
