THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU and THE HON'BLE SHRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT APPEAL No. 390 OF 2010 Dated: 02-06-2010 Between: Kanneganti Prabhakar Rao ... APPELLANT AND Union Bank of India, 239, Vidhan Bhawan Marg, Nariman Point, Mumbai- 400 021, rep., by its Managing Director and two others ... RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU and THE HON'BLE SHRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT APPEAL No. 390 OF 2010 JUDGMENT: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Nisar Ahmad Kakru) 1. Allegations of omissions and commissions on the part of the appellant – Assistant Manager in the Union Bank of India gave rise to disciplinary proceedings, consequently served with Articles of Charge under memo dated 16-12-2009 accompanied by a statement of allegations which came to be questioned by medium of writ petition, but of no avail to him, hence this writ appeal only on the ground of failure of the respondents to spell out the allegations in the Articles of Charge. This objection against the maintainability of disciplinary proceedings was raised before the learned single Judge as well but was turned down on the strength of the judicial pronouncements handed down by the Apex Court to the effect that the charge sheet and the accompanying statement of facts shall form a single document and if the details of the allegations are specifically given in the statement of charges, it amounts to service of Articles of Charge. Learned counsel for the appellant has placed reliance on the judgment reported in Union of India vs. Gyan Chand Chattar[1], but in no way it requires us to take a different view, for, dictum narrated in para 27 therein makes it clear that the Articles of Charge and statement of allegations constitute a single document. 2. We have minutely gone through the Articles of Charge as also the statement of allegations, perusal whereof evinces clarity of the allegations. Situated thus, interference is declined. Dismissed along with miscellaneous petition. SANJAY KUMAR, J NISAR AHMAD KAKRU, CJ 02-06-2010 K. Shyleshi [1] 2009-TLPRE-0-771
