IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1255 of 2009 Ram Anugrah Narayan Singh . Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors . ----------- 2/ 30/06/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner questions the initiation of proceedings against him under Rule- 43 of the Bihar Pension Rules as being barred by limitation, the charges relating to a period much beyond four years from the date of superannuation. The counter affidavit reveals that during the pendency of the matter before this Court, final orders of punishment have been passed in the departmental proceedings awarding punishment of 25% reduction of pension for ten years by an order dated 20.1.2009. Paragraph-5 of the counter affidavit further reveals that the petitioner has preferred a statutory appeal against the same and which is stated to be in the process of consideration. A supplementary counter affidavit has been filed thereafter stating at paragraph-6 that the statutory appeal of the petitioner has also been rejected on 30.11.2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that 2 the petitioner had taken the original files from him and has not reverted to him as yet and therefore he feels handicapped in assisting the Court. The writ application appears to have become infructuous in absence of any challenge to the order of punishment or the appellate order. If so advised, the petitioner may challenge the aforesaid subsequent orders in a freshly constituted writ application. The present application stands disposed as infructuous. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
