Patna High Court dismisses Senthil’s writ petition

Patna,(BiharTimes): A single bench of Justice Samarendra Pratap Singh of the Patna high court on Thursday dismissed a writ petition filed by K Senthil Kumar, IAS, who challenged the order of state government for his suspension for allegedly committing financial irregularities as the commissioner of Patna Municipal Corporation.

The court observed that Senthil’s petition was not maintainable in the high court and that he should seek remedy before the Central Administrative Tribunal or the state authority concerned.

The state government opposed his petition on the ground of non-maintainability. The counsel stated that a departmental proceeding had been initiated against Senthil after his suspension.
