Shri Kashid Adv for petitioner. Shri Kaptan Adv for respondent 2. CORAM: B. P. DHARMADHIKARI & A. P. BHANGALE JJ. DATED: 4th OCTOBER, 2011. . Heard. Shri Kaptan learned counsel appearing for respondent no. 2 has pointed out from reply-affidavit that public money of Rs. 1,30,00,000/- (Rupees One Crore Thirty Lacs) came to be deposited by petitioner in Vidarbha Cooperative Bank Akola without obtaining permission as required under Section 92(1) and 92(2) of Bombay Provisional Municipal Corporation Act 1949. Shortly thereafter said Cooperative Bank had gone into liquidation. He further points out that as petitioner was in police custody in criminal matter lodged against him in this respect, departmental proceedings could not be commenced. Now charge sheet has been served on the petitioner and Enquiry Officer is also appointed. He states that criminal offence is being investigated by Police Station Officer Kotwali Police Station Akola in Crime No. 2 85/M/2010 under Section 166, 167, 171, 403, 420, 466 and 409 of Indian Penal Code. In this situation we find that challenge is to interim suspension pending departmental enquiry and such suspension cannot be faulted with. With liberty to petitioner to approach competent authority in the matter, if enquiry is not concluded within reasonable time, petition is disposed of. No costs. JUDGE JUDGE svk
