Earlier the petitioner had grievance only against his headquarters being fixed at Latehar Branch by the authorities of the Respondent-State Bank of India. Now he has challenged the order of suspension itself which has been issued on 3.8.2010. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that as a matter of fact, the charge sheet itself had been issued on 24.2.2010 but despite passage of so much time no effort is being made by the respondent- authorities for concluding the departmental 2 proceedings. In the above circumstances, the writ application is disposed of with a direction to the respondent-Bank to conclude the departmental proceedings against the petitioner within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. In case the petitioner does not co-operate with the respondent-authorities, then it will be open to them to proceed in the matter irrespective of the petitioner’s non-cooperation and conclude the departmental proceedings within the given time frame.
