Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Rajasthan High Court's decision that the termination of the respondent's service under Regulation 30(1)(f) of the Marwar Gramin Bank (Staff) Service Regulations, 1980 was invalid due to procedural errors and violations of natural justice principles. The Court emphasized that disciplinary proceedings must adhere to fair procedures, and the lack of such adherence resulted in manifest injustice. Consequently, the Court ordered the reinstatement of the respondent with all consequential benefits.
