Reserve Bank Of India & Another vs C. L. Toora & Others

The Supreme Court held that the Reserve Bank of India must adhere to the principles of natural justice and fair play in promotion matters, as outlined in the Reserve Bank of India (Staff) Regulations, 1948. The Court found that the High Court's decision to allow the writ petition was justified, as the charge of insubordination against the respondent was not substantiated, and the selection process was flawed. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's order directing the Reserve Bank to reconsider the respondent's promotion to Grade-D.
