INJUSTICE DONE BY PNB CURRUPT OFFICIALS OF PNB HOSHIARPUR AND HEAD OFFICE NEWDELHI
A) MOST URGENT: - “THAT INSPITE OF SEVERAL NOTICES AND WRITTEN REQUESTS PROPERLY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT BY THE BANK, THE BANK HAS NOT PROVIDED ME DOCUMENTS AND THE LIST OF PROSECUTION WITNESS ON WHICH THE CHARGE SHEET WAS BASED. THEREFORE PROCEEDINGS CONTINOUED WITHOUT PROVIDING THE DOCUMENTS ARE NULL AND VOID.”

Personnel Administration Division,
H.O.: 7, Bhikaji Cama Place,
New Delhi.
Respected Sir,
Sub: - Sh.B.R.Mahi (PF52135), Ex-Manager, LBO Hoshiarpur Previous at B.O. Usmanpur. Charge sheet dated 05/10/2009.
It is submitted that I was compulsory retired from PNB LBO Hoshiarpur vide. Disciplinary authority order dated 6.7.2011 and confirmed by the appellate authority. My review application was rejected by The ED vide has order date 18/10/2012. I want to bring it into your kind notice that these order are issued on following flimsy grounds only to endorse the views of disciplinary and appellate Authority. It is not based on independent judgment based on independent views.
The view expressed in inquiry reports are not based on facts and figures. Enquiry report is made on the verbal instruction of the senior officers who are prejudiced against me because of some personal grudges against me. The charge sheet issued to me was very lengthy and records pertaining to the charge sheet were not issued to me to make my defense / reply to charge sheet intentionally.
The charge sheet was so exhaustive that with a single day visit to the branch, the whole record could not be inspected and noted to file the written reply of charge sheet. Documents must be provided to me to give the proper reply to the charge sheet in defence. I visited the branch on 23/10/2009 and requested for supplying attested copies of the certain documents for reply of charge sheet. I have not been given ample opportunity intentionally to give the reply of charge sheet on the verbal instructions of higher authorities.
A) MOST URGENT: - “THAT INSPITE OF SEVERAL NOTICES AND WRITTEN REQUESTS PROPERLY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT BY THE BANK, THE BANK HAS NOT PROVIDED ME DOCUMENTS AND THE LIST OF PROSECUTION WITNESS ON WHICH THE CHARGE SHEET WAS BASED. THEREFORE PROCEEDINGS CONTINOUED WITHOUT PROVIDING THE DOCUMENTS ARE NULL AND VOID.”
B) That the order of penalty has been passed by the incompetent authority.
1) It is submitted that in terms of PAD Circular No. 16 dated 10.1.2011, the Head Office has scheduled and designated the Disciplinary Authority as well as Appellate Authority w.e.f. 10.1.2011, according to which, the Asstt. General Manager in the Circle Office has been designated as Disciplinary Authority and in case, the Asstt. General Manager is not posted then the Deputy General Manager would be the Disciplinary Authority. In the present case, the Asstt. General Manager Mr. K.V. Anand was posted in the Circle Office and he was designated as Disciplinary Authority. But in my case, the Deputy General Manger Sh. S.S.ARORA has passed the final orders dated 6.7.2011 in violation of PAD Circular No. 16 dated 10.1.2011. It is a settled law that when the order has been passed by the incompetent authority then, the same is vitiated being illegal and not liable to be sustained. The reviewing authority is requested to kindly look into this aspect and to quash and set-aside the impugned orders dated 6.7.2011 of the Disciplinary Authority.
2) I want to Quote a glaring example of victamisation that I was on leave from 14-92007 to 29-10-2007 to visit Abroad and during this period Sh.M.L.AHUJA was officiating as Manager and he obtained loan application on 13-10-2007 and sanctioned on 15-10-2007 and also disbursed the loan of 19-10-2007 to the borrower. The mistakes committed by Sh.M.L.AHUJA by granting loan to his nephew The onus of these mistakes has been put on me even as I was not in India. Copy of passport attached which clearly depicts that I was not in India in these days. How can I rectify the mistakes committed by Sh.M.L.AHUJA on returning from abroad?
3) That with regard to charge no 4 Account No.KCC 86 – 12162 Balbir Singh for Rs.5 lacs dated 11-03-2005.
Allegation – The limit was sanctioned on 11-03-2005 for 5 lacs. At the request of the party and as per office note, the limit was reduced from Rs.4 lac to Rs.2 lacs w.e.f 17-05-2005 but the limit was not reduced in system and party is allowed to avail the limit up to the level of Rs.4.lac. The balance outstanding in the account in Rs.3.92 lac as on 17-09-2009. Findings of the Inquiry Officer/Disciplinary Authority.The Inquiry Officer has proved the charge and the Disciplinary Authority , Reviewing Authority and appellate authority have endorsed the same. I had submitted in my appeal that neither this loan was sanctioned by me nor it was renewed by me nor I was posted at B.O. Usmanpur on 17.5.2005 and thus, the allegation was not remotely attributable to me. It may be seen that on 17.5.2005, I was posted in a different branch i.e. Rahon. But, the Appellate Authority has not appropriated this evidence and without making any comment on my this submission, the appeal was rejected. Thus, the order of Appellate Authority is non-speaking, arbitrary and perverse. Since, the aforesaid issues have not been discussed by the Appellate Authority in his order, therefore, the order is non-speaking, arbitrary and perverse.In support of my aforesaid contentions, I refer the following landmark judgements thereby showing emphasis in my contention in a legal and valid form to which the reviewing authority is requested to consider the same sympathetically.
4) The Disciplinary Authority (DA) recommended stop page 5 Increments at the very first instance to the CVO , PNB Head Office New Delhi but CVO declined to endorse. At the second instances Disciplinary Authority recommended stop page of 7 Increments again CVO didn’t concur and sent back the case to Disciplinary Authority . Disciplinary Authority again at the third instances recommended stop page of 7 Increments but CVO again declined and adamant. At the fourth instances on the instruction/pressure of CVO Disciplinary Authority recommended The Compulsory Retirement to CVO and the CVO concurred. It is quite clear from the above proceedings that the Disciplinary Authority decision was based on the pressure adopted by CVO. The CVO concurred on 25/6/2011 and he was retired on 30-06-2011 before 5 days his retirement. It is submitted that CVO disposed of this file at page end of his retirement only clear the Backlog his files, by not applying his mind in an impartial and by giving proper thought to the career of an officer. He with the just stroke of pen spoiled unblemished career of 27 long years.
5) The unproved charges by inquiry officers are also taken as proved to enhance gravity of charge ti mislead the higher authorities to give unjustified punishment to me by Disciplinary Authority.
6) No Reputation loss is suffered by the bank and no financial loss had been incurred by bank only to give justify the punishment of The Compulsory Retirement awarded by Disciplinary Authority and appellate authority, this is being stated.
7) Where as many officers of PNB with whose conduct bank has suffered a lot of financial loss but has not been compulsory retired and has been continue to work and promoted by the Bank. I want to quote many instances with reference to my above submission that
i) Sh.Arora Senior Manager, PNB Nawashahr Doaba ( Main branch), was charge sheeted and again allowed to continue work and promoted.
ii) Sh.Madaan officer of PNB Nawashahr Doaba (Main Branch), ), was charge sheeted and again allowed to continue work and promoted.
iii) Sh.Gajjan Ram Manager PNB Phillaur, was charge sheeted in DD cases and again allowed to continue work and promoted.
iv) The Senior Manager PNB Phillaur, was charge sheeted and again allowed to continue work and promoted.

viii) Sh.Harpal Singh Deputy Manager PNB Mehatpur Uladani (Nawashahr) was charge sheeted in fraud case and bank has suffered financial loss but despite this he was again allowed to continue work and promoted.
All These Instances are quoted to bring it into your kind notice that despite Disciplinary Authority(DA) recommended lesser punishment to me due to undue pressure tactics adopted by outgoing Retired CVO Sh.K.Bhaskar from PNB. My punishment was enhanced by Disciplinary authority (DA).
I Quoted many high courts & supreme courts New Delhi judgements at the time of inquiry, appeal, Review in my defence but were not taken into consideration.
1) It is submitted that when I took over the charge as branch Manager at Usmanpur, the performance of the Branch was at its lowest deposit of figure of Rs. One Crore Thirty Lakh and Credit was at One Crore Fifty Six Lakh. I did my work honestly and diligently and took the performance of the Branch to its new high ( i.e. deposits of Rs. Ten Crore Seventy Five Lakh and Credit of Rs. Nine Crore Eighty Lakh)
2) During business review meeting DGM Circle Head Office Hoshiarpur has declared that I would transfer the officers by keeping performance of the branch in mind and those who are good performers will be given branch of their own choice and suitability. But my transfer has been done ignoring my hard work and performance only due to being a Scheduled Caste Manager and Discriminated against me.
3) My work at Usmanpur branch stood first in the Distt. And 5th number in circle. In my branch each and every activity was done as per bank norms and nothing has been done fraudulently.
4) Only due to misreporting by Sh,Jaswinder Saini LDM on the directions of Sh.M.S.Nijjar AGM. Both those officers are ill treating me due to their past personal grudge. Both these officers have shown and presented a bad performance of Usmanpur Branch intentionally.
5) Both these officers as explained in previous paragraphs intentionally and deliberately harass me on flimsy grounds and tarnish my image in the eyes of my superiors.
6) It is submitted that I Sh. Baldev Raj Mahi Ex- Manager , PNB Usmanpur , Distt Nawashahr , Punjab belongs to Schedule Caste category. On the basis of my caste, the then AGM, Circle Office Hoshiarpur Sh M.S.Nijjar Discriminated, harassed and in a revenge full manner acted against me only to tarnish my image in the eyes of my superiors. Sh.M.S.Nijjar has some personal grudge against me because he over stepped his powers when he transferred me from Banga branch while working as S.R.M Jalandhar . Then Zonal Manager Amritsar took the notice of the transfer and ordered to keep this transfer in Abeyance and also called the explanation of Mr.N.S.Nijjar.
Since he is working against me and trying to tarnish my image as well as trying to entangle me in one way or the other way. Only from this point he started acting in a whimsical manner against me.
7) I and my wife are ill despite my illness. I have been intentionally transferred to Hoshiarpur during the period of March closing and inspection period, so that I cannot remove irregularities during inspection.

12) Sh.Jaswinder Saini was having already a grudge against me because when i was working as incumbent incharge at Behloor Kalan , Loan sanctioning power was vested in me and Sh , Jaswinder Saini was working as a recommending and processing authority . I received many complaints from borrowers that he was getting illegal graft from the borrowers of Agriculture Loan. I have pointed out this matter to Sh. Jaswinder Saini . That’s why he was malicious towards me. Branch inspection was going on and during the inspection I was relieved to join at PNB LDM Office Hoshiarpur . I was not given the opportunity to remove the small irregularities and verbal instructions were issued to the Inspector to make me scape goat .Even small mistakes which could be easily rectified , are presented to the management in such a way that it looks as Major Irregularities , If i was not relieved during Inspection these small mistakes / errors could be rectified .
13) Sh .G.L.Sharma investigated the Branch for sanction of Education Loan . He had not asked for my comments in the above investigation and submitted his false and fabricated report , without any evidence , baseless report on the verbal instructions of Sh.M.S.Nijjar . I have not been issued any tabular Performa as per Bank guidelines, no explanation was called and a direct charge sheet was served upon me on 5 / 10 / 2009 . I asked for relevant documents to submit my defence against the charge sheet . It was not provided to me . I am afraid to say how without relevant documents it is possible for me to make my defence . The charge sheet was prepared by Sh. Chander Shekhar Gautam , Sh . S.K.Sharma, Sh. Bajaj chief manager and other concerned officials who all were from General Category . They all followed the verbal instructions of Sh.M.S.Nijjar , Sh. Jaswinder Saini , Sh. G.L.Sharma , Sh. Chander Shekhar Gautam , Sh.S.K.Sharma , Sh.

The whole general category officers acted against me only to spoil my career
