IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10006 of 2005 NAND KUMAR PANDEY, son of Late Hridya Nand Pandey, resident of village Kailani, P. O. & P. S. Dawath, District Rohtas (Bihar) at present posted as Amin Circle Office Suryapura, District Rohtas (Bihar)…. Petitioner. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR through Commissioner, Patna Division, Patna 2. The District Magistrate Rohtas at Sasaram. 3. The Deputy Collector Establishment, Collectrate Rohtas at Sasaram. 4. The District Land Acquisition Officer, Rohtas …. Respondents ----------- 2. 04.01.2010 No one appears for the petitioner. From perusal of the writ application, it appears that the petitioner has primarily assailed the order of punishment dated 30.11.2004 inflicting certain punishment in a disciplinary proceeding. The petitioner in paragraph 17 of the writ application has stated that as against aforementioned order of punishment dated 30.11.2004 he had filed a representation before the Commissioner of Patna Division assailing the aforesaid order of punishment passed by Collector Rohtas District. Though a counter affidavit has been filed in this case but neither the statement contained in paragraph 17 has been answered nor the fate of representation filed before the Commissioner of Patna Division has been disclosed. 2 A representation in the matter of disciplinary proceeding before the Commissioner in fact is an appeal and as it was claimed to have been filed almost within one month of the order of punishment, the same was required to be disposed of. In absence of counsel for the petitioner or the State, this Court is not in a position to know the present status and therefore all that can be done is to direct the Commissioner of Patna Division to dispose of the said representation filed by the petitioner against the order of punishment. In case, the representation has already disposed of, a copy of the order may be sent to the petitioner. Entire exercise as directed above must be complied by the Commissioner of Patna Division within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With the aforementioned observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
