THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA 2. THE DIRECTOR-IN-CHIEF, HEALTH SERVICES DEPARTMENT, OF HELATH, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, CUM- COLLECTOR, NALANDA 4. THE CIVIL SURGEON CUM-CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER, NALANDA AT BIHAR SHARIF 5. THE DISTRICT LEPROSY OFFICER, NALANDA AT BIHARSHARIF 6. THE ADDITIONAL CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER, NALANDA AT BIHARSHARIF 7. THE IN-CHARGE MEDICAL OFFICER, PRIMARY HEALTH CENTRE, HARNAUT IN THE DISTRICT OF NALANDA ----------- 02 02.07.2010 The petitioner along with several others was put under suspension for being unauthorized absent from the Primary Health Centre where he was posted. Having been put under suspension, departmental proceedings have been initiated, pursuant to enquiry report submitted in respect of petitioner his suspension was withdrawn and stoppage of one increment with no cumulative effect and warning has been inflicted by the Civil Surgeon-cum-Chief Medical Officer as far back as in July 2006. Petitioner intends to challenge the same before this Court after almost four years having suffered the punishment. In my view, such belated challenge with no plausible explanation cannot be entertained by this Court. The writ petition is dismissed. However, liberty is given to petitioner to take such other appropriate remedy which may be available to him and to which he may be advised in accordance with law. Trivedi (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
