State Bank Of India And Anr vs Bela Bagchi And Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that disciplinary proceedings against an employee of the State Bank of India could not continue post-superannuation, citing the Service Rules of the Bank. The Court emphasized that the dismissal order issued after the employee's superannuation was illegal and without jurisdiction, aligning with the precedent set in State Bank of India v. A.N. Gupta, [1997] 8 SCC 60. The appeal by the Bank was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
