IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.17392 of 2010 SOHAN PRASAD YADAV @ SOHAN LAL . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 2. 29.10.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. The petitioner was suspended on 5.3.2010. It was assailed in CWJC No. 7350 of 2010. This Court declined to interfere. The issue of suspension is therefore barred by res judicata. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the departmental proceedings are being unnecessarily prolonged. This Court at this juncture considering the suspension from 5.3.2010 and on the own showing of the petitioner the decision to initiate departmental proceedings have been taken on 31.5.2010, is not satisfied that the suspension can be said to be unnecessarily prolonged. However, the writ application is disposed with the observation that the departmental proceedings be concluded preferably within a maximum period of six months from the date of receipt and/or presentation of a copy of this order, provided the petitioner himself cooperates. The writ application stands disposed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
