IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1101 of 2009 VISHWANATH PATHAK Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 03 16.03.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. No counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of respondents. The petitioner was placed under suspension by an order dated 8.12.2008 in respect of alleged events of the year 1990-1991. The present writ application lays out a challenge to the order of suspension simplicitor. The fact that the petitioner has been suspended on events which has taken place more than nine years ago is considered sufficient by this Court to hold that there is no justification for the suspension at such belated stage. On that ground alone, the order dated 8.12.2008, insofar as the issue of suspension only is concerned, is hereby set aside. The writ application stands allowed to the extent indicated. P.K. (Navin Sinha, J.)
