IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4054 of 2009 Hari Narayan Prasad Prajapati . Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors . ----------- 2. 19.07.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. A purely administrative matter with regard to handing over and taking over of charge in pursuance of a transfer made in the year 2004 of the petitioner has been placed before this Court in the form of a writ application in the year 2009. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has joined the transferred place of posting and even today the petitioner has instructed him that the formal charge has not been taken. Let the petitioner appear before the respondent no. 6, the Executive Engineer concerned who shall ensure that there is a formal handing over of charge by the petitioner. The Court is only concerned with the administrative issue that Government work must continue unhampered and an issue as small as handing over and taking over of charge should not impede Government work. All questions with regard to the reasons for the delay in handing and taking over of charge, at whose door the responsibility shall lie and the consequential action, 2 if any, administratively in pursuance thereof are all left open for the administrator to decide and the present order shall not be construed as any opinion or observation on the merits of the claim of the petitioner that his right to hand over charge and the refusal of the respondents to assume charge stands justified by the present order. The Court does not intend any observation or opinion to that effect. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
