IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No 9686 of 2010 1. RAVINDRA KUMAR S/O LATE HARANATH SHARMA R/O VILL.- BELDAUR, P.S.- BELDAUR, DISTT.- KHAGARIA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION, BHAGALPUR, DISTT.- BHAGALPUR 3. AREA EDUCATION OFFICER, KHAGALGAON, DISTT.- BHAGALPUR ----------- 2 12.07.2010 The petitioner was suspended upon various allegations by the order of the District Superintendent of Education (DSE) on or about 31.03.2009. Petitioner’s grievance is that till date, no charges have been framed nor he is being paid anything. In my view, there is no gain in keeping the writ petition pending. Accepting what the petitioner states to be correct, I direct the DSE to look into the matter and if charges have not yet been framed, they shall be framed within a period of one month from the date of production of a copy of this order before him failing which the suspension shall automatically stand revoked. The DSE should see that for the period petitioner had remained suspended, he shall be paid minimum the subsistence allowance which the DSE should ensure immediately. In case charges are framed, DSE would take steps for expedition disposal of the proceedings and if the disciplinary proceedings are not disposed of within a period of one year from the date charges are framed, the same may proceed but the suspension of petitioner would stand revoked. With these observations and directions, the writ petition stands disposed of. M.E.H./ (Navaniti Prasad Singh)
