The departmental proceeding not having been concluded within a period of three months on 10.12.2010 the petitioner represented to the District Education Officer, Munger, praying for revocation of his suspension with a copy marked to the Regional Deputy Director, Munger. When nothing was done as usual state of affairs this contempt application was filed on 7th February,2011. Again nothing was done. This matter was then taken up on 17.8.2011 and the opposite parties were asked to file their show cause. Now the authorities have woken up from their deep slumber. On 20th August,2011 the District Programme Officer (Estt.)H.R.D., Begusarai, O.P.No.4 has ordered for revocation of suspension. This ought to have been done way back in December,2010 itself. There is no reason given for inordinate delay in compliance of the order. Learned counsel for the State assures that all matters with regard to the posting, payment of full remuneration etc.would be settled 2 within a fortnight, if not already settled. Upon that assurance and undertaking this application stands disposed of. AnilKrSinha (Navaniti Prasad Singh,J.)
