Being aggrieved by the order dated 07.09.2007, passed by a learned Single Judge, in C.W.J.C.No. 13320 of 2005 (Dr. Manoranjan Prasad Versus The State of Bihar & Ors), the State of Bihar has preferred this appeal under Clause 10 of Letters Patent Appeal of High Court of Judicature at Patna. It appears to us on perusal of the order in question that the writ petitioner was in the services of the Bihar Government, and placed under suspension in anticipation of departmental proceeding. He then remained under suspension for the period 14.11.2000 2 to 31.01.2003. He superannuated from the services of the Bihar Government with effect from 31.01.2003, during the period of suspension. No departmental proceeding was initiated against him. In such a situation, the writ petition was allowed and the respondent authorities have been directed to pay full salary to the petitioner for the period of suspension. We entirely agree with the order in question. The appeal is dismissed. Sym ( S.K.Katriar,J.) ( Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
