IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.16830 of 2010 Date of Decision : September 17, 2010. Rajinder Kumar .....Petitioner versus Union of India and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.S.S.Sodhi, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner seeks a mandamus to direct respondent No.5, namely, the Punjab State Cooperative Agriculture Development Bank Limited, to take action against respondent No.7 who was allegedly caught red-handed by the Vigilance Department while taking bribe. The petitioner also alleges threat to his life at the hands of respondent No.7 against whom he had complained and who is said to be pressurising the petitioner to withdraw the complaint. The petitioner has already lodged his protest vide a legal notice dated 3.7.2010 (Annexure P-3) but also finding no response thereto that he has approached this Court. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, however, without expressing any views on the merits of the allegations, especially C.W.P.No .16830 of 2010 2 when the respondents have not been heard at this stage and no prejudice can be caused to them behind their back, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.5-Bank to redress the grievance of the petitioner and take an appropriate decision on the complaint made by him against respondent No.7 in accordance with law, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Suffice it to say that these directions shall not be construed as a direction by this Court to presume respondent No.7 guilty of any misconduct and the matter shall have to be independently enquired into by the competent authority. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. September 17, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
