In this writ petition the petitioner has prayed for quashing the Letter No. 1160 dated 5.6.2006 issued by the respondent No. 3 whereby the decision has been taken to dismiss the petitioner from service and to recover certain amounts from him. The petitioner has further sought for revocation of his suspension and also for payment of salary and other allowances.

In the year 1997, while he was working as the Regional Director, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Department, Saran Division, the petitioner was put under suspension by the department by letter dated 1.2.1997. Thereafter, the memorandum of charges was also served on him initiating the departmental proceeding against him. The petitioner challenged the same in a writ petition being CWJC No. 2316/97 filed in the Patna High Court. The said writ petition was disposed of directing the respondents to conclude the enquiry by 31.12.1997, failing which it was directed that the charge-sheet as well as the suspension order shall stand quashed w.e.J. 1.1.1998. The enquiry could not be concluded by 31.12.1997 and the department then filed a petition for extension of time for concluding the enquiry, but the same was rejected.

The subsequent charge-sheet was issued on 1.1.1998 in which the charges which already stood quashed were also incorporated among the 27 charges.
