               IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI
                    W.P.(C ) No. 4179 of 2011
         Devendra R. Purohit                                    ........Petitioner
                                   Versus
         The State of Jharkhand & others ....                   Respondents.
CORAM: -       HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE POONAM SRIVASTAV

         For the Petitioner        : Mr. A.K. Sahani, Advocate.
         For the Respondents       : J.C. to G.P. IV.
02/ 03.08.2011

: Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner as

well as counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents.

The grievance of the petitioner is that the Certificate

proceedings initiated against him, he has been deprived of an opportunity

to adduce evidence, and by virtue of an order dated 9th July 2011 the

authority has declined to summon some of the witnesses. The petitioner

insists that if he is deprived of this opportunity, he will be subjected to

irreparable loss.

I have also heard counsel appearing on behalf of the

respondents. No fruitful result can be achieved keeping these proceedings

pending. In the facts and circumstances, I dispose of the writ petition with a

direction to the respondent no. 2 to afford the petitioner one single

opportunity for examining the witnesses. Respondent no.2 shall summon

the witnesses within 10 days from the date a certified copy of this order is

produced before him and examine those witnesses on day to day basis.

This order along with an application shall be produced before the

respondent no. 2 within one week from today. If this is not done, this

opportunity of adducing certain evidence shall come to an end and no

further opportunity will be granted.

With this observation this writ petition is finally disposed of. It is

made clear that the respondents as well as petitioner shall adhere to the

time frame to avoid any further delay.

(POONAM SRIVASTAV, J)
