S.A. KINI & ANOTHER vs UNION OF INDIA & ORS.

The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petition filed by the Deputy General Secretary of the Canara Bank Officers’ Association, alleging coercion by bank management to collect funds for charitable causes. The Court found that the petitioners were engaging in similar activities they complained about, and the bank's assurance that it would not compel employees to collect funds was accepted. The Court held that the allegations were malicious and aimed at denigrating the bank's management, thus upholding the High Court's dismissal of the petition.
