IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.18497 of 2009 1. SHRI NIWAS RAM CONSTABLE NO. 519 S/O NANDLAL RAM R/O VILL.- SAREJA, P.S.- RAJPUR, DISTT.- BUXAR Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH ITS CHIEF SECRETARY OLD SECRETARIAT, PATNA 2. INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE BIHAR, PATNA 3. DY. INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE BIHAR, PATNA 4. THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE (RAIL) MUZAFFARPUR 5. DY. S.P. - CUM - CONDUCTING OFFICER, SAMASTIPUR, STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02 02.04.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner a Police Constable was proceeded with departmentally on allegations of making interpolation in the case diary and helping the two accused thereby. No allegations of any procedural impropriety in the departmental proceedings culminating in the impugned order of dismissal dated 21.11.2007 and the appellate order dated 13.11.2008 has been urged to warrant interference in writ jurisdiction. The criminal case lodged against the petitioner in context of the interpolation alleged to have been done in the case diary is an entirely different matter. The purport, scope and purpose of departmental proceedings and a criminal trial are entirely different. The purpose of a criminal trial is to punish the offender whereas in a departmental 2 proceeding it is the enforceability of discipline and the administrative aspect of the matter which falls for consideration. The dismissal order records that the interpolation done in the case diary allegedly by the petitioner has been substantiated by the forensic report. There is no occasion for this Court to interfere with the matter. The writ petition is dismissed. P.K. ( Navin Sinha, J.)
