D.C. Aggarwal (Dead) By Lrs vs State Bank Of India And Another

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, D.C. Aggarwal, was unjustly denied promotion and extension of service due to a flawed disciplinary process under the State Bank of India Service Regulations. The Court emphasized that the inquiry conducted was not in accordance with the principles of natural justice, as the appellant was not given a fair opportunity to defend himself. The Court ordered that the appellant be granted the benefits of promotion and extension of service up to the age of sixty years, thereby reversing the bank's decision.
