Petitioner at the relevant time was Chief<\/p>\n<p>Engineer in the Central Planning Organization in<\/p>\n<p>the   Road   Construction     Department.          A    file    for<\/p>\n<p>granting technical approval for construction of a<\/p>\n<p>check   post    was   received       in     his        office    on<\/p>\n<p>31.1.2008. The file remained in the office for<\/p>\n<p>over 3 months and finally could be cleared with<\/p>\n<p>the technical approval only on 3.4.2008.The delay<\/p>\n<p>in construction of check post therefore caused<\/p>\n<p>revenue loss to the State Government. Hence, a<\/p>\n<p>show cause was issued to the petitioner to which<\/p>\n<p>he replied through Annexure-3. In his said reply,<\/p>\n<p>petitioner explained the movement of the file in<\/p>\n<p>his office. He stated that he was transferred<\/p>\n<p>from the post w.e.f.       27.3.2008 and therefore, he<\/p>\n<p>was   not    responsible     for    the    delay       caused   in<\/p>\n<p>transmitting    the   file    to    the   Engineer-in-Chief<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                   3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>with technical approval thereafter. From the show<\/p>\n<p>cause it appears that, after the receipt of the<\/p>\n<p>file petitioner endorsed it to different persons<\/p>\n<p>for examination and report and file thus kept on<\/p>\n<p>moving in his Organization itself and was cleared<\/p>\n<p>and sent only on 3.4.2008.              Hence movement of the<\/p>\n<p>file and delay in granting technical clearance to<\/p>\n<p>the said proposal of construction of check post<\/p>\n<p>caused in his Organization stands established.<\/p>\n<p>         Learned counsel for the petitioner submits<\/p>\n<p>that    the    delay     was    not    on   the        part   of    the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner as he had endorsed the file to the<\/p>\n<p>concerned      section    under       him   for    scrutiny        etc.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, he submits that petitioner cannot be<\/p>\n<p>held responsible for the delay. He submits that<\/p>\n<p>the entire process actually took only one month<\/p>\n<p>and seventeen days and not three months during<\/p>\n<p>the period of the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>         It may be that the file was endorsed by<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner to his subordinate officers for<\/p>\n<p>scrutiny and report, but the fact is that the<\/p>\n<p>nature    of    the      work    required         as    expeditious<\/p>\n<p>dealing with the file. The petitioner was heading<\/p>\n<p>the    Organization      and,    therefore,        he     cannot     be<\/p>\n<p>absolved of the vicarious liability for the delay<\/p>\n<p>caused, though technically file may have remained<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          on the table of some of his subordinate officers.<\/p>\n<p>          Being     the    head      of    the    Organization        it   was<\/p>\n<p>          required from the petitioner to appreciate the<\/p>\n<p>          urgency in the matter and ensure that the file is<\/p>\n<p>          cleared    immediately          and    sent   to   the   concerned<\/p>\n<p>          authorities to proceed in the matter.                       By the<\/p>\n<p>          impugned order the petitioner has been awarded a<\/p>\n<p>          minor punishment of withholding of one increment<\/p>\n<p>          without cumulative effect.               Hence, the effect of<\/p>\n<p>          the punishment will stand wiped out on completion<\/p>\n<p>          of one year as per the newly inserted Explanation<\/p>\n<p>          2 in Rule 14 of the 2005 Rules and petitioner<\/p>\n<p>          will be restored in the pay scale at the point he<\/p>\n<p>          will be entitled and shall also be considered for<\/p>\n<p>          promotion from the due date after the period of<\/p>\n<p>          punishment expires.\n<\/p>\n<p>                  In      the       circumstances,       considering       the<\/p>\n<p>          facts and circumstances of this case, this Court<\/p>\n<p>          does not find any merit in the writ application,<\/p>\n<p>          and the same is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<pre>Prakash                                            ( J.N.Singh, J.)\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patna High Court &#8211; Orders Shri Gopal Krishana vs The State Of Bihar &amp;Amp; Ors on 7 December, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5964 of 2010 SHRI GOPAL KRISHANA, aged about 57 years, S.O Late Bhubaneshwar Ram, resident of Village Rampur P.s.
