IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.11297 of 2010 Date of Decision : June 30, 2010. Rajiv Chaurasia .....Petitioner versus Central Bank of India and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Rajesh Punj, 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 is working as a Clerk in the Central Bank of India, Ambala Cantt Branch. Besides registration of an FIR against him regarding the alleged mis-appropriate of bank funds, he has also been served with a charge-sheet dated 15.3.2010 (Annexure P-5). The petitioner seeks quashing of the said charge-sheet, inter-alia, on the ground that the documents/information sought by him vide applications dated 30.3.2010 (Annexures P-6 & P-7) and legal notice dated 10.6.2010 (Annexure P-9), have not been supplied to him. It is also urged that the disciplinary proceedings cannot be allowed to proceed as it would compel the petitioner to disclose his defence. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at some C.W.P.No .11297 of 2010 2 length, I do not find any ground to interfere with the ongoing disciplinary proceedings at this stage. The petitioner is said to have applied under the RTI Act for information which has not been supplied by the Prescribed Authority, against which he has preferred an appeal under the Act as the same is stated to be pending. In these circumstances, while directing the Appellate Authority to decide the appeal within the period prescribed under the Act and thereafter approach the Bank-authorities in accordance with law. However, keeping in view the nature of allegations levelled against the petitioner, I do not find any ground to quash the charge-sheet. Dismissed. June 30, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
