Enquiry

You have already engaged a lawyer to defend and fight out your case, he will be the better person to advise you on the queries raised because he knows the facts of the case in full and had been handling your case from beginning. Wait for the outcome of the court case.

Dear sir,

Thank you for your reply and advise.

The case is lodged at Coimbatore CBI court.  I have engaged an advocate at coimbatore for defense purpose. I understand that the case would take a very long period due to various reasons.

My concern is regarding my employment in the Bank. Please advise the procedures and directions available...........

The fraud has not happened at my Bank.............  All 82 documents listed by CBI are xerox copies and the original documents have been lost by PNB officials.............. The main accused as charged by CBI is still absconding...............

My Bank has suspended me for the reason that I am remanded for Judicial custody. My Bank has waited for more than 10 months till the CBI to file their charges at court and then they have charge sheeted me for certain lapses & irregularities. The charges framed over me are branch practices.

Out of 8 charges charged on me by the Bank, 4 are non maintenance of registers, 2 for non verification of KYC documents, One in general and the other is non reporting.

Sir, the 4 registers reported as non maintained are not discontinued by me, These registers were not introduced at the branch since opening. Moreover these registers are to be entered by clerical staff.

All 10 KYC documents were verified by me with originals during account opening. Cheque books, letters sent by our chennai LCPC centres through speed post have been promptly delivered and not returned.

Many copies of branch correspondence letters sent by me in 2011 regarding the transactions are said missing now during enquiry process although they have concrete evidences in letter sent register & despatch registers.

Considering the Banks motive to prove the framed charges, I have obtained interim stay at high court to stop the enquiry process, which will affect my defense in court case.

In this situation will I be not eligible for full pay ( 2 years under suspension).

Kindly advise

Dear sir

I have been charge sheeted by the bank management for 8 lapses and irregularities.

4 are for non maintanence of register, 2 for non reporting and 2 for non verification of genuineness of KYC documents during account opening.

The 4 registers reported as not maintained are not discontinued by me or in my period. The branch has not introduced the register since opening. Moreover the register has to be updated by the clerical staff and initialed by me. My predecessors or successors are not questioned. No inspecting officials have recorded this irregularity in their reports. No controllers who visited the branch has commented in their reports or books.

These registers are not in practice in most of the branches of SBI.

I have asked a few branch including the branch where I am chargesheeted the data regarding these registers under RTI act such as

1. Is there any rule/ practice of these register in Bank/ Branch

2. Date of introduction of register / date of introduction of the system at branch.

3. Who is supposed to make entries in the registers.

4. Had any inspecting officials / visiting officials recorded/ noted the non maintanence of the registers/ practice in their reports

5. Dates of inspection conducted by controllers etc... at the branch

The branch has replied me without submitting the required data by referring the section 8 (1) d of RTI act 2005, that the information sought involves commercial confidence of the bank.

Sir, I have the xerox copy of those registers from my branch.

I am an employee of the bank.

I have not sought out any information of third party.

There is no commercial confidence matter in my question.

Sir, Is the Banks reply reasonable. What shall I do to get the reply.

Regards
