THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.18176 of 1996 Dated:05.12.2006 Between Mr.S.Vinod …..Petitioner and 1.The Chief General Manager, State Bank of India, Local Head Office, Hyderabad And another. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.18176 of 1996 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in initiating domestic enquiry vide proceedings No.(3-0)(DPC)(VSP) R-V/No.05, dated 5.8.1996 pending criminal case in C.C.No.214/92 on the file of the Additional Judicial I Class Magistrate, Bobbili arbitrary and violative of Article 14, 20 (3) and 21 of the Constitution of India. While admitting the writ petition on 30.08.1996 this Court granted interim stay of all further proceedings pursuant to the notice dated 5.8.1996. Now, it is more than 10 years. There is no information as to whether the criminal proceedings have been concluded or not. At this length of time, the question of going into the merits and demerits of the case does not arise. In view of the time gap, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents to proceed with the departmental enquiry as soon as the criminal proceedings are concluded before the trial Court, if not already concluded, and pass appropriate orders, as per law. Writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. ________ 05-12-2006 rkk
