IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.38861 of 2008 Surendra Ravidas, Son of Kauleshwar Ravidas, Resident of Village Jhitkauria, PS Makhdumpur, District Jehanabad ---- Petitioner Versus The State Of Bihar ---- Opposite Party ----------- 2 22.7.2011 This application has been filed for quashing the e ntire proceeding of Vigilance PS Case No. 39 of 2008. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as far as his role is concerned, it appears that there is a discrepancy of Rs. 7,000/-. The petitioner claims that he has already deposited Rs. 11,000/- and in fact the Vigilance Agency has not been able to contravene this issue. It is said that the petitioner has filed a representation before the before the Additional Director General of Vigilance Bureau, Bihar, Patna which has not been considered. This Court, therefore, directs that the Vigilance Department should consider the plea raised by the petitioner in his representation before the Additional Director General of Vigilance and thereafter recommend for proceeding against him if, it 2 is found that the offence of misappropriation of funds are established against the petitioner. As far as the allegation that there is possible dereliction of duty, this Court finds that in itself may not constitute a criminal offence, but would come within the scope of administrative action by the department concerned. At this stage, this Court cannot quash the entire proceedings on the basis of the submissions made by the petitioner. This application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations.
