Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Bank of Patiala Regulation and Management Order, 1954, was valid and came into effect on February 27, 1954, despite its later publication. The Court ruled that the delegation of powers to the Board of Directors to frame staff rules was valid and did not violate Article 311 or Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court upheld the compulsory retirement of the appellant under Rule 27, affirming the legality of the Staff Rules framed by the Board.
