THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. Shri Sita Ram Jamuar, District Superintendent of Education, Begusarai 3. Shri C.B. Singh, Block Education Extension Officer, Teghara, P.O. & P.S. Teghara, District Begusarai ----------- 04/ 06.01.2010 From the statements made in different paragraphs of the show cause, it appears that the departmental proceeding initiated against the petitioner has not yet been concluded in compliance of the orders of this Court on account of failure of the petitioner to respond the show cause notice. In such circumstances, the authorities were not stopped from proceeding against the petitioner ex parte. As the authorities have not concluded the proceeding, they have to comply with the other part of the order i.e. to reinstate the petitioner. 2. Accordingly, District Superintendent of Education, Begusarai is directed to reinstate the petitioner forthwith and pay him the current salary, payment of arrears of salary for the suspension period shall be subject to the result of the departmental proceeding. 3. It is once again made clear that in case petitioner does not cooperate in the departmental proceeding, the District Superintendent of Education, Begusarai should proceed and conclude the proceeding ex parte. 4. This application is, accordingly, disposed of. Arjun/ ( V.N. Sinha, J.)
