IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15359 of 2009 1. KANHAIYA SINGH S/O LATE LALLAN PRASAD SINGH R/OVILL SEMARIA , P.O. NATHMALPUR, P.S. BARAHARA, DISTT- BHOJPUR, AT PRESENT POSTED AS RAJSWA KARAMCHARI, BLOCK KUDRA, DISTT KAIMUR AT BHABHUA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE CHIEF SECRETARY OLD SECRETARIAT , PATNA , BIHAR 2. THE DIVISIONAL COMMISSIONER PATNA 3. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE KAIMUR AT BHABHUA 4. THE SUB DIVISIONAL OFFICER KAIMUR AT BHABHUA 5. THE CIRCLE OFFICER MOHANIA IN THE DISTRICT OF KAIMUR ----------- 2. 1.12.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. In pursuance of a departmental proceeding, the petitioner has been visited with punishment of stoppage of four increments with cumulative effect and nothing beyond subsistence allowance was payable by an order dated 2.9.2000. The appeal against the same preferred seven years later has been dismissed on 18.7.2009, as belated. Learned counsel for the State has rightly objected to the belated nature of the relief sought for by the petitioner. Even on merits, on perusal of the enquiry report, this Court is satisfied that it was not a report of exoneration as is contended. The allegation was that a beneficiary obtained funds under the Indira Aawas Yojna for making new construction when he already had a house and which money was wrongly utilized for repairs. The land report was given by the petitioner. The second show cause notice issued to the 2 petitioner based on the enquiry report records that the petitioner submitted a report without proper land verification. On merits also this Court finds no reason to interfere with the impugned orders. The application is dismissed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
