RAVIKRISHNAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/03/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN .J ------------------------------------------ W.P (C) No 5761 OF 2007 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of February 2007 JUDGMENT This matter relates to suspension of the petitioner who was the Deputy General Manager of the 5th respondent society. He claims that he has been suspended by a part-time Administrator of the bank who was suspended from service and who pre-dated the suspension order of the petitioner to make it appear that suspension order was issued earlier to the suspension of the part- time Administrator The counsel appearing for the 5th respondent strongly opposes the petition. He submits that there are serious irregularities on the part of the petitioner in the matter of depositing crores of rupees before private banks unauthorisedly without consulting the committee constituted for the purpose of deciding deposit of money belonging to the bank, in other banks as also without following Reserve Bank guidelines in the matter. I am not inclined to go into these disputed questions of fact, in so far as the petitioner himself submits that he has filed a petition before the Government in the matter and seeks a direction to the Government to pass appropriate orders thereon. If such a petition has been received by the 1st respondent, the same shall be disposed of as expeditiously as possible in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
