Sunil Kumar Singh, Adv. ----------- 2 21.09.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, counsel for the State Bank of India. Petitioner is aggrieved by the memorandum of the Disciplinary Authority dated 3.8.2010, Annexure-6 whereunder he has been attached to Latehar Branch under administrative control of Region-III A.O., Ranchi. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that a proceeding was drawn against him while he was serving as Senior Assistant in the Gardanibagh Branch of the Bank and during the conduction of the proceeding he has been attached to Latehar Branch of the Bank. It is also submitted on behalf of the 2 petitioner that as the proceeding is being conducted in the Administrative Office of the Bank at Judges Court Road, Patna the Bank shall have to pay traveling allowance to the petitioner so as to enable him to participate in the proceeding. In order to avoid such payment to the petitioner, Bank should have been well advised to consider the posting of the petitioner in some other branch in or around Patna, or in the town of Barh, Arrah, Muzaffarpur so as to lessen the burden of the traveling allowance to be paid to the petitioner. Aforesaid aspect of the matter is required to be considered by the Disciplinary/ Appellate Authority of the Bank. As petitioner has been attached to the Latehar Branch under the orders of the Disciplinary Authority, I direct the petitioner to represent against the attachment order before the Appellate Authority, who shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as early as possible in any case within one month from the date of the receipt of representation along with my order. The writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. M.I.Haque ( V. N. Sinha, J.)
