SRI.K.ANAND, SC FOR R1 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC,J. ----------------------- W.P.(C).No.1793 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 6th day of February, 2009. JUDGMENT Inaction on Ext.P1 complaint made by the petitioner against the 4th respondent, is what is complained of in this writ petition. According to the petitioner, by Ext.P6 he was informed that the Bank will examine the complaint immediately and since there has not been any progress in the matter, this writ petition has been filed. 2. On instruction the Standing Counsel submits that on receipt of the complaint, an enquiry was conducted and the 4th respondent was also heard. It is stated that the bank has found that there was no substance in the allegations raised. It is stated that on that basis the matter has been closed. However, the fact remains that the petitioner has not been heard nor has he been served a copy of the proceedings. In order to enable the petitioner to pursue the WP(c).No.1793/09 /2/ matter further if he so desires, I direct that the concerned officer of the first respondent Bank shall serve a copy of the proceedings reflecting the decision taken on Ext.P1 to the petitioner. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within one month from today. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
