The Government of India has enacted the ‘Right to Information Act 2005” replacing the Freedom of Information Act. In order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of any Public Authority, the Act provides the right to citizens to secure access to information of general nature. The Public Sector Banks are “Public Authorities” for the purposes of this Act.
As far as the Banks are concerned the relevant provision that have already come into force are Sections 4(1), 5(1) & 5(2). The right to information includes an access to the information which is held by or under the control of the Bank which comes under Public Authority and includes the right to inspect the work, document, records, taking notes, extracts or certified copies of documents / records and certified samples of the materials and obtaining information which is also stored in electronic form.
The Act provides under Sections 8 and 9, certain categories of information that are exempt from disclosure to the citizens. The public may also refer to the relative sections of the Act before submitting a request for information.
It can also be submitted in any of the Bank's branches/Zonal Offices. Citizens can also submit request through online portal by accessing the link https://rtionline.gov.in where the RTI fees can be paid online and upon submission of the request the requester gets the registration number and can track the application.
Dear & Most Respected Sir, Date : 06-04-2013 I have to file a RTI Application against my the then Employer, Punjab National Bank, Surendranagar Branch ( Gujarat ). I was awarded ” Compulsory Retirement from Bank Service after completing Two Departmental Inquiries, I was given above Award. In 1st Departmental Enquiry, I was directed to continue my service till Judgment (after my Pending Appeal before Gujarat High Court against my Conviction under IPC 498-A & IPC 306.). I am on Regular bail. I was convicted for 4 years’ RI with a fine for Rs. 25,000.00 & under IPC 498-A, I was convicted for 2 years’ RI & with a fine of Rs.500.00 , both sentences to go concurrently. After 4.3 months in Jail, I was released on bail in 2008 & my Appeal against my conviction was admitted before Gujarat High Court. After releasing on bail, I served at PNB, Surendranagar Branch for almost 8-9 months, all of a sudden, I was charge-sheeted under ” Moral Turpitude” clause of our BPS for Workmen. In this Enquiry, I was allowed to continue my service till Final Judgment of Gujarat High Court, I continued my service for 2-3 months, all of a sudden, again the same Enquiry was reopened, without assigning more charge/s. My Defence Representative & I protested it very very strongly. But the Disciplinary Authority ( RM ), after hearing me & my Defence Representative, took a decision for my Compulsory Retirement with all Benefits. I appealed at Appellate Authority ( DGM,HR,HO, New Delhi), he does not answer, nor taken any decision in spite of our regular written reminders, but after 4-5 months, he upheld RM’s previous Order, without giving me any Opportunity for Personal Hearing. This is there in our Bi-Partite Settlement, that Appellent authority must give an Opportunity for personal Hearing before taking Final Decision. Sir, we found out that my in-laws had written many letters to our Circle office & HO to terminate my service & my 1st & 2nd Enquiry was held & Appellent Authority , took more than One Month ( 4-5 Months after our so many written reminders ) without giving me any Opportunity to be heard personally. This is Gross Misconduct & Absuse of Law & Abuse of Power conferred to him . Sir, I was Compulsorily Retired in 2008, now I wrote to so many Authorities, to take Authenticated Copies of Written Letters from my in-laws side & other so many points, but without any result. Sir, please draft a RTI Application for me for my work done. I requested so many RTI Activists of India giving them my E-Mails copies, to help me in Drafting a very Powerful RTI Application, but nobody helped me. Sir, find below, copies of E-mails I sent at complaint@pnb.co.in & others.
Filing of an RTI Application seeking some vital information from Punjab National Bank , whose I was a Clerk-cum-Cashier ( Employee No. 55765 ) for 24 years & was awarded Compulsory Retirement after Two Departmental Enquiries by letters written from my in-laws’s side:
Dear Sir/s Date : 04-04-2013
I want to file RTI Application against Punjab National Bank Management & to punish those
under whose actions, they Reopened closed Departmental Enquiry & other issues as narrated below, which, I already sent through an E-Mail ( complaint@pnb.co.in ) to PNB :
Dear Sir/Madam, Date : 09-03-2013
With Due Respect, I , Mr. Hareshkumar Jagjivan Shrimali ,was a Clerk-cum-Casher in your Surendranagar Branch. Since 1984 to 2008. I was Compulsorily Retired under charge ” Moral Turpitude “from Bank Service after two inquiries in 2008.
The Fact is I was convicted for 4 years & 2 years for IPC Sections 306 & 498-A to go concurrently respectively, as my wife had committed suicide in Dec-1996. A Criminal Case was registered by my Elder Brother-in-law at Limbdi Police Station. And after a lapse of some 9 years , I was convicted as above. I filed Criminal Appeal against my conviction at Gujarat High Court & it is admitted . It’s still pending.
All of a sudden, after getting regular Bail from Gujarat High Court, An inquiry was ordered after 8-9 months regular service at Surendranagar Branch ( Gujarat ) & in that inquiry, Decision was taken to continue my Bank Service till Final Judgment of Gujarat High Court.
To my surprise, this inquiry was reopened on the same ground without giving any valid reason/s after serving more 3-4 months at the same Branch.
And in this reopened inquiry, a decision was taken to Compulsorily Retire me & that was done.
I alongwith my Defence Representative filed an Appeal at Appellate Authority, DGM, HR, HO, New Delhi. As per Bi-partite Settlement ( at that time ) Rules, Appelate Authority neither called me for Personal Hearing nor took any final Decision in spite of our Regular Reminders. After 4-5 months, this final decision was taken by Appellate Authority & upheld decission of Regional Manager, Rajkot.
By this Complaint, rather earnest request , I would like to know whether any person had called any higher authority/ies or/and wrote letters to any Higher Authority/ies to initiate First & Reopened second Inquiry with Names of persons/lawyers , PNB Authoritocuments ies’ Name, Designation/s & All Documents ( From Bank to Lower management, Higher Authority/ies to lower Authority/ies , answers, All E-Mail Details with dates, dulya certified by Competent Authorites.
How a Final Decision was taken to continue my service as it was till Final Disposal of Gujarat High Court, a new reopened Inquiry was initiated & we appealled against Decission to Appellate Authority, without answering my Defence Representative , Final Decission for uphelding RM’s ORDER of Compulsory Retirement on the grounds of Moral Turpitude & without calling me for a Personal Hearing in writing, Appellate Authority had upheld RM’s ORDER throwing away Bi-Partite Settlement Rules for Workmen ?
Kindly I urge upon you with my both hands folded , give me Dates, Documents, authorities Names with Designation, All Correspondance Attested With Bank’s Seal & Signatures , All E-Mails. All letters , phone call details with from-to Phone Numbers with dates & exact time with call Durations. If this mail doesn’t fall under your jurisdiction, kindly forward to the relevent Authority under CC to me at this E-Mail ID : contactmehjs@gmail.com .
I urge to send me Each & Every Minute Details within a month from date of this E-Mail , during which any correspondance is held copy to me at this E-Mail ID : contactmehjs@gmail.com & if hard copies, on the following Residential Address of mine :
Mr. Hareshkumar Shrimali,
Flat No.1, Krupakant Appartments Part-1,
Bhaikakanagar, Near Zaveri bunglows,
Thaltej Cross Roads,
Ahmedabad- 380059
( Gujarat )
( India )
P.S. : I state that this is my E-Mail ID & I am the Real Person & not a fake person. If a written reply is not received from a competent authority , this complaint/request will be transferred to all higher authorities, RBI Dealing Heads, CVC & other Central Govt. Authorites , presuming that you have accepted everything in this e-Mail . It’s an earnest & most polite request .Don’t take it otherwise.
Another E-Mail sent on 12-03-2013 Titled :
Re : ATR of my Earlier E-Mail Dtd. 09–3-2013
Resp. & The Most Hon’ble Sir/Madam, Date : 12-03-2013
Reg : ATR of my Compulsory Retirement from Bank’s Service.
Dear Sir, Nothing has been done in this matter till date . If possible , kindly send me E-Mail IDs of
all Dept., Division Head’s including CMD’s E-Mail IDs . Plz include all documents, letters written by my in-laws, their lawyer/s, any other third party & All all all correspondence between our Bank’s internal correspondence & Call Details, Call Numbers, Call Durations, Mobile Nos. if any, If Mobile Call than Service Provider at that time of their Mobile/Cell Phones.
Sir, why I’m demanding All all minutest Details, b,coz Appellate Authority has not done According to BPS Rules prevailing at that time & thrown away my case & me by taking Laws in his/their hands.
I was not given Personal Hearing inspite of the Fact that he/she MUST have called me for Personal Hearing & thereafter he/she should have taken ultimate Decission within Time-frame. Not Calling me for Personal Hearing before Final Punishment seemed to condone PNB Mgmt. as a whole, a “few slaps” given to me & my Defence Representative. Defence Representative & I was tooooooo much shocked & I felt as if my Right to vote in an Parliamentary Election was taken away & I was prevented to cast my vote. What happened to RIGHT OF EQUALITY ? Is this person still in se rvice in PNB ? Who is He/she ? Whether PNB Higher Management taken any punitive Action Against him/hers ? If yes, which one ? If he/she is retired, his/her Pension was Stopped or Not ? Why ? Why no Departmental Inquiry/Action was taken ? Why he/she escaped ? What happened to Indian Legal System/Machinery ?
Only Big Officers are allowed to flee from their deeds punishing a totally Innocent Person & putting a FULL-STOP to his loyal 24 years’ service. I can give Names of my collegues who have taken wrong benefits in PNB Service & those who are Doing Up-Down from Ahmedabad To Limbdi Branch, Ahmedabad to Wadhwan Branch to Surendranagtationery, ar without taking Written Permission from Competent Authority being an Officer Scale -I , he is still enjoying all benefits, selling pen,pencils, Rubber Rings, making Stamps, selling staionery , selling Ballpen reffils, selling Pencil Sharpners to Bank Branches as if he has been given a written Contract by PNB. Making lot of long distance STD & local phone from Branch Phones innumerous times. A Mr. Bharatkumar Bhogilal Shah- A Special Assistance & honourarily Retired from PNB, Surendranagar Branch & still taking Pension & all Beam hainefits. He was not signing vouchers under his pover , so many vouchers, he has not signed during tenure of his Service Tenure at Surendranagar Branch of PNB. Looto Bhai Looto, jitna dam hai, utna looto. PNB Jindabad. He was not capable of writing three lines in Correct Hindi ( English is a dream for him ). He used to come to me when something to be written in Hindi. Are Bhaiya, Retire bhi ho gaya. Aur Ek tha Mahachor, Mr. Hareshkumar Jagjivan Shrimali, who was sacked from PNB. Are Bhaya, Haresh ne jarur koi Ghotala Bank mein kiya hoga. These are the Bitter tooooooooooo much bitter words , I hear day by day,rather Daily. I was given Appreciation Letter for my each & every Help in bringing our Surendranagar Branch fully Computorised. chhodo , wo to koi Pagal RM aa gaya hoga Rajkot RO mein . De diya hoga Certificate. To us se thoda Haresh Shrimali ko Clean Chit chahiye ?
An Officer Scale-I of Limbdi Branch threatened to CID/CBI People, he is reinstated. Wow. LOL.
Are Bhai, nobody is guilty until The Biggest Court , The Hon’ble Supreme Court Of India finally gives verdict against me. My in-laws were very wealthy, I cried & argued these real, factual, true points, facts at the time of my inquiry, but nobody taken care of my naked TRUTH. ” Bhagao is ko verna yehobara to hamari bhi pole khol dega, aisa moka kabhi nahi milega dobara. ”
….) My late Father-in-Law Mr. Nathalal Kadia was a retired Deputy Collector & was practising as a Lawyer at Ahmedabad since so many years before my Engagement with my late wife Alka. My Elder Sister-in-Law ( unmarried as of to-day also) is M.A., LLB, B.Ed. & took away my only, my only SON Kevin from my custody, eversince he was three & a half years’ old. My Eldest late Brother-in-Law was M.Sc., LLB , who involved & indulged falsely , is Original Complainant in my Criminal case. He was serving as clerk at SBI,his wife is still serving in BSNL. My Eldest SIL was married at Nadiad & having NO ISSUE till to-day. ( After more than 30 years’ married life ). Both of them & my late BIL & FIL took more interest of my only Son Kevin & were not giving back his Custody to me. I always prayed with my both Hands folded to give me my own son’s custody , I’ll keep him at Ahmedabad for his Better & Better Education & Welfare. I purchased a flat at Ahmedabad for that. My late Wife Alka was M.A. ( with Psychology ) & was serving as Mukhya Sevika at H.Q. Limbdi & other small villages.
I anm & my entire Family Members are innocent . The Criminal Case is totally an after-thought, vague, frivolous & to ruin our entire Family Members. I am a ALMIGHTY GOD fearing & my all family Members are GOD fearing , true & positive persons. Though, we are not Rich, we are poor, our Moral Value can not be measured in Rupees.
My True story is very very very long . Plz Help me out. God will Bless all Authorities who takes every needed step in helping me.
Regards…..?
Hareshkumar Shrimali
P.S. : Can I take more 1% ( or whatever ) in FDRs & all Deposits in PNB , in which Account , my name appears 1st ? Because, I’m Compulsorily Retired only Surendranagar Branch is ready to give me 1% additional counting me as Ex-Staff. I withdrew all my Deposits & Each & every pie of my relatives from Limbdi Branch. ‘coz PNB, Limbdi ( Gujarat) Branch counts me a Guilty person & not allowing me to be Ex-Staff . They are not giving me 1% more. They want me to produce a letter from Higher Authority stating me to be an Ex-Staff & All Benefits available to a NORMAL Ex-Staff , should be given to me also.
Hence, on this prestigious occassion, can I pray to Top-Most Highest Authority of Punjab National Bank to give me such letter in writing within a short period, or still War is war afterall. It’ll be continued till my Death.
Respectable Sir/s , kindly help me, I am resident of Ahmedabad.
P.S. : First of all, I want Certified Copies of letters written from my in-laws’ side/their Lawyer’s letters to terminate me from Bank Service.
Waiting for your Reply.
Sincerely Yours,
