The learned counsel for the petitioner stated that the petitioner has filed a representation, dated 20.04.2004, and thereafter also made several representations requesting to furnish relevant documents. Further, the petitioner is not seeking appointment of an outsider of the bank as defence representative, but his request is that he may be permitted to engage an officer of the bank as defence representative. In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on merits, the petitioner is directed to make a detailed representation enumerating the documents, which are required by him for the purpose of participating in the enquiry proceedings, in detail, within a period of two weeks from today and, on filing such representation, the respondents shall examine the same and furnish all the required documents to the petitioner, within a period of two weeks thereafter. Further, the petitioner may also be allowed to engage an officer of the respondent bank as defence representative. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ____​__________ C.V. RAMULU, J 10th September, 2007. IBL
