IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CIVIL WRIT JURISDICTION CASE No.3110 of 2009 ==================================================== RANDHIR KUMAR SINGH - Petitioner/s(s) . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS- Respondent/s(s) . ==================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s: Mr. K.RAVISH For the Respondent/s: Mr. (AAG10) ==================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE NAVIN SINHA DATE: 11-07-2011 ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE NAVIN SINHA) 03. 11.07.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and for the State. The petitioner filed a writ petition at the stage that the memo of charges had been issued and departmental proceedings were pending. During the pendency of the writ petition, the proceedings have been concluded and orders of punishment passed. Learned counsel for the State raises an objection with regard to the alternative statutory remedy of appeal available. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the order of punishment is 2 based on materials beyond the charges. If, there is an alternative statutory remedy of appeal available all questions of law and fact can well be agitated before the Appellate Forum. The Court declines interference at this stage for reason of the alternative remedy available. Nothing in this order shall be taken or construed as any opinion or observation of the Court on the merits of the matter which shall necessarily have to be decided by the appellate authority on his own application of mind. If such an Appeal is filed within 30 days from today, let the appellate authority decide the matter in accordance with law without going into issues of limitation. The application stands disposed.
