THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JAYANT BANERJI and HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE T.M.NADAF ORAL ORDER (PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JAYANT BANERJI) Head the learned counsel for the complainant. 2. This complaint is filed alleging non-implementation of the order dated 16.06.2026 passed in Writ Petition No.12965/2026. It appears that a writ petition was filed seeking a direction to the respondents therein to consider - 3 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010591542026 NC: 2026:KHC:47305-DB CCC No. 1113 of 2026 several representations of the petitioner addressed to the Assistant General Manager and Managing Director of the bank. The grievance is that the respondent-bank has not considered the representations submitted by the petitioner. The writ petition was disposed of directing the respondent-bank to consider the set of representations submitted by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. 3. It is stated that by means of a letter dated 02.07.2026, addressed to the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the respondent-bank and the Deputy General Manager, HRM & In-charge TR & HRCPC of the Bank of Baroda, the order of the Writ Court was communicated. By an order passed by the Deputy General Manager (HRM), Head- Terminal Benefits, HRCPC and Medical Insurance, the representations were re-examined and no merits were found in the same. 4. The sole contention of the learned counsel for the complainant is that the representations were addressed to the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer as well as the - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010591542026 NC: 2026:KHC:47305-DB CCC No. 1113 of 2026 Deputy General Manager, but neither of them decided the applications. 5. Having perused the record of this complaint, it appears from the order in the Writ Petition that the respondent- bank was directed to consider the representations of the complainant. By the order of 22.07.2026, a detailed response has been made and communicated to the complainant rejecting his representations after re-examining them on merits. 6. In our considered opinion, the order of the learned Single Judge has been complied with. There is no merit in this petition. It is accordingly consigned.
