Judgment text excerpt
The petitioner challenged his dismissal from Punjab National Bank, alleging violations of natural justice and procedural irregularities during the domestic enquiry. Specifically, the petitioner claimed denial of access to documents, inability to examine witnesses, and insufficient time to submit a written brief under Regulation 6(18). The court examined whether these procedural lapses were sufficient to vitiate the enquiry and justify reinstatement.
