THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.18447 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is working as Assistant Accountant in Karimnagar Cooperative Urban Bank Limited (for short ‘the Bank’). Disciplinary proceedings were initiated against him and an Enquiry Officer was appointed. The petitioner raised an objection for the Enquiry Officer on the ground that he deposed as a witness in certain proceedings against the very Enquiry Officer. Ultimately, an order of dismissal from service was passed against the petitioner on the basis of the report submitted by the Enquiry Officer. W.P.No.18896 of 2005 filed against the order of dismissal was allowed on 29.01.2008. The Bank filed W.A.No.344 of 2008. It is stated that in W.A.M.P.No.733 of 2008, a Division Bench of this Court observed that it shall be open to the Bank to conduct fresh enquiry through a different Enquiry Officer and refused to suspend the order passed in the writ petition. The limited relief claimed in this writ petition is that the Bank be directed to conclude the enquiry before the petitioner reaches the age of superannuation on 30.09.2010. His apprehension is that on account of the pendency of the proceedings, his terminal benefits may not be released after retirement. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Cooperation. In a way, the petitioner seeks enforcement of an observation made by a Division Bench of this Court in W.A.M.P.No.733 of 2008. If the Bank has not chosen to act as per the said direction, it may have to reap the consequences at a later point of time. In case the petitioner is denied the retirement benefits, he can certainly bring the same to the notice of the Division Bench, and seek appropriate directions. The writ petition is accordingly closed. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:08.09.2010 kdl
