CW 11215/09 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.11215/09 R.K. Jain Versus UCO Bank & Ors. DATE OF ORDER : 16/09/2009 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY RASTOGI Mr. Dharmendra Jain, for petitioner *** Instant petition has been filed by petitioner at the stage when inquiry is pending before the disciplinary authority who served him a notice with regard to proposed punishment dt.31st August, 2009 – in pursuance of which detail reply has also been furnished by petitioner in which reference has also been made of the earlier order of this court dt.7th August, 2009 passed in CWP- 8947/09 and it is not the case of the petitioner that respondents have passed final order in regard to notice dt.31st August, 2009 served upon him so far. His only grievance is that since respondents have failed to comply with the principles of natural justice, of which this court has noticed in its earlier order dt.7th August, 2009 but since copy of order could not be made available to him, by that time notice of proposed punishment was served and in such circumstances, if any order is CW 11215/09 [2] passed by the respondents without taking note of submission which he has made in reference to notice of proposed punishment it will cause prejudice to him and his right of fair consideration will be seriously jeopardized. So far as merit of the inquiry is concerned, since the matter is pending with the disciplinary authority, it will not be appropriate for this court to make any observation which may affect right of the petitioner also. As regards submission made by counsel for petitioner in regard to earlier order passed by this court, suffice it to say that after notice of proposed punishment has been served, he has submitted his detail reply and reference of the earlier order of this court dt.7th August, 2009 has also been taken note of, which is sub judice before the disciplinary authority and it is always expected that what has been referred to by him in reply to notice will be considered by the authority competent in the light of relevant provisions which govern the service conditions of employees of the respondent-Bank. CW 11215/09 [3] As already observed, merits have not been looked into by this court and opportunity is available with the petitioner to make all available submissions under law before the disciplinary authority. This court is not inclined to interfere in the pending departmental inquiry at this stage. Writ petition is without merit and accordingly, dismissed. [AJAY RASTOGI], J. FRBOHRA11215CW09 16-9.doc
