The present writ petition has been filed challenging the order dated 11-11-2025 passed by the General Manager NBCC Commercial Complex, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow.

He further argued that on some reporting by the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection regarding non matching of bio-matrix, which was taken at the time of the examination, the enquiry has been contemplated and the petitioner has been put under suspension, though the services of the petitioner have already been confirmed and there is no occasion, after passing of more than four years to match the biometrics. He submits that apart from that, the allegation is that the photo of the petitioner is same, but, the name and father's name are slightly different on various pages of the form.

bank by the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection, but, that can be by some technical fault, for which the petitioner has been put under suspension. He submitted that there is no truthfulness in the charges levelled against the petitioner. On the other hand, learned counsel appearing for the respondent- bank has opposed the contentions aforesaid and submitted that there are serious allegations against the petitioner, which may lead to the major punishment and therefore, the petitioner is not entitled for any relief.
Considering the submissions of learned counsels for the parties and after perusal of records, it is apparent that the nature of the allegations are serious and that may lead to the major punishment. In this view of the matter, the opposite party no. 2/The Divisional Head (Administration), Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS), IBPS House, Kandivali (East), Mumbai, is directed to conclude the enquiry proceeding within the period of two months from the date a certified copy of this order is produced before him.
