ORDER
The petitioner is an employee of BSNL and also a member of the fourth respondent thrift Society. The petitioner has approached this Court seeking a mandamus to the respondents 1 to 3 that the fourth respondent has taken loan in his name, without his knowledge. 2.Learned Counsel for the petitioner has produced the copy of a register and submitted that the petitioner's signature has been tampered by the fourth respondent and loans have been availed in the name of the petitioner.
3.Learned Counsel for the fourth respondent Society submitted that the petitioner has availed several loans from the Society and all those loans have been credited to this petitioner through cheques. He further submitted that the loan repayment amount is being deducted from the petitioner's salary by his employer and is being credited in the Society Account. 3/6
4.It appears that the petitioner has retired from service in the year 2015 and has made this allegation that he has not availed the loan in the year 2019 and filed this writ petition. Since it is reported that all the loans have been credited only through bank transactions, via cheques and the repayment amount have also been deducted and paid to the Society from the petitioner's salary account itself, this Court is not inclined to entertain this writ petition.
Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. Index :
