The Division Commissioner-cum-Enquiiy Officer held the petitioner &#8216;not guilty&#8217; in respect of most of the charges.

The counsel for the appellant-petitioner submitted that the appellant had also prayed for his time-bound promotion to the higher grade. However, as both the matters were different &#8211; one related of departmental proceeding and other promotion, the learned single Judge did not choose to give any finding in respect of promotion matter.

The appeal is dismissed with aforesaid observation. However, there shall be no order as to costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jharkhand High Court Dharmdeo Prasad vs State Of Bihar And Ors. on 9 July, 2002 Bench: S Mukhopadhaya, L Uraon JUDGMENT S.J.
