RAMAYAN RAM Vs. STATE OF BIHAR

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE writ application originally was filed to challenge the recommendation made by Lakayukt. The Lokayukt in its report had found the petitioner guilty of laches and misconduct. During the pendency of this writ application the respondents authorities have already issued a notice to show cause to the petitioner and are proposing to proceed with a domestic enquiry. The petitioner now submits that the recommendation and the show cause notice are illegal.

(2.) IN the opinion of this Court, the recommendations made by the Lokayukt are in fact recommendatory and it on the basis of the said recommendations the department is proposing to proceed with a domestic enquiry after giving a show cause notice on serving charge -sheet then by no stretch of imagination it can be said that the petitioner would not get a fair opportunity to face charges.
