Respondents. ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. Birendra Kumar, Advocate For respondent Bank: Mr. Shivajee Pandey, Senior Advocate Mr. Nalin Vilochan Tiwary, Advocate. -------- 2. 7.3.2011 The petitioner has approached this Court against the two orders passed in two disciplinary proceedings against him. Admittedly, the petitioner has filed an appeal against the impugned order, which is pending before the appropriate authority of the Bank. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegations against him relate to his loose conduct against the Zonal Manager, Sri D.P. Gogia, who is the appellate authority and thus he does not expect to get any justice from the same officer. - 2 - In the said circumstances, the writ application is disposed of with a direction to the authorities of the respondent Bank that the appeal of the petitioner shall be heard and disposed of by an officer of the rank of Zonal Manager or of superior rank but not Sri D.P. Gogia. Let the appeal be disposed of within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order before the Zonal Manger, Zonal Office, Jaipur in the State of Rajasthan.
