IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
CWJC No.12331 of 2004
HAJRA KHATOON & ORS
Versus
THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS
-----------
9. 25.10.2010 Some light has been shed on the so-called departmental
enquiry which was conducted against the employees who were
suspected to have connived with the husband of the petitioner in
allowing him to rejoin the post after he had already been dismissed from
service on holding of a departmental enquiry. The circumstance under
which the husband of the petitioner continued to work for almost 10
years and now the wife is claiming retiral dues does require a closer
scrutiny by the Court because the system cannot be manipulated to the
extent where it becomes a laughing stock.
Learned Government Advocate is hereby directed to ensure
that a fresh affidavit on behalf of Principle Secretary, Department of
General Administration is filed indicating the materials which have
come against the persons who have been found guilty and the
circumstances under which husband of the petitioner was facilitated to
continue to work on the post till his superannuation. The Court makes it
clear that it wants to take the matter to its logical end and therefore
would like to have a closer scrutiny at things.
Matter will come up for further consideration on 6th of
December, 2010 by which time the affidavit in question must be filed
as directed above. Let the matter be listed as first case subject to part
heard.
The original record which has been procured may be
2
returned to the department to be made available on the next date when
the matter will be taken up.
