JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD .

(2.) THE petitioner, Shashi Bhushan Kumar, as well as one Arjun Ram were proceeded departmentally for certain charges. Arjun Ram was the Accountant whereas the petitioner Shashi Bhushan Kumar was the Assistant Accountant at Giridih Treasury. Both were separately proceeded departmentally and against both the charges were found to be not proved. Accordingly, recommendation was made to exonerate them. The disciplinary authority i.e. the respondent no. 2, the Deputy Commissioner, disagreed with the enquiry report, and ordered to hold fresh enquiry against the petitioner after changing the enquiry officer vide Annexure -6. Arjun Ram challenged the order passed by the Deputy Commissioner in W.P.(S) No. 3059 of 2003 before this Court which was disposed of finally by order dated 11.11.2003 as contained in Annexure -9 to the rejoinder to the counter affidavit filed by the petitioner.

(3.) LEARNED counsel for the petitioner submits that since the case of the petitioner stands exactly on similar footing to that of the Arjun Ram, and therefore, the order passed against him as contained n Annexure -6 should also be quashed on the same line to that in the case of Arjun Ram.
