Delhi HC raps RBI for doing away with
CA firm’s services
Chandigarh, October 15 Acting on a petition filed by Gupta & Gupta Chartered Accountants, the Delhi High Court has held as illegal the decision of the RBI to discontinue the services of the firm as the CSA of PNB, without fair and proper inquiry into the allegations. Justice S Muralidhar has categorically ruled: "The discontinuance of an SCA cannot be brought about by the public sector bank acting by itself". The firm, through counsel Vineet Malhotra, had challenged the RBI's decision, advising that "the PNB may carry out the quarterly review for the quarter ending June 30, 2009, with the five existing SCAs, excluding the petitioner". Justice Muralidhar ruled: "Just as there can be no appointment of an SCA without the intervention of the RBI, there can be no discontinuance of an SCA without the RBI taking a decision in that regard. The greater the power to appoint and remove an SCA, the higher the responsibility on the RBI as the holder of such power to exercise it in a fair and reasonable manner after following a just procedure, which comports with the principles of natural justice." Referring to the case in hand, Justice Muralidhar added: "Where a complaint is made against an SCA by a public sector bank, it will be the duty of the RBI to examine such a complaint carefully…. Justice Muralidhar concluded: "The Court holds the impugned decision of the RBI as communicated in its letter dated June 24, 2009, to the PNB, to discontinue the petitioner as an SCA, even for the limited extended period ending June 30, 2009, was violative of the principles of natural justice and was, therefore, illegal".
