C.& M.D., UNITED COMMERCIAL BANK vs P.C. KAKKAR

The Supreme Court addressed the scope of interference by the High Court in disciplinary proceedings under the United Commercial Bank Officer Employees (Conduct, Discipline and Appeal) Regulation 1976. The Court held that while the High Court can review the quantum of punishment, such interference is limited and must be justified, especially when serious charges are established. The Court ultimately set aside the High Court's order reducing the punishment, emphasizing the need for integrity in banking roles and the inappropriateness of comparing punishments without a thorough examination of circumstances.
