Y.P. SARABHAI vs UNION BANK OF INDIA

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant, a security officer of the Union Bank, for violating Regulation 13 of the Union Bank of India Officer Employee (Conduct) Regulations, 1976, by remaining absent without proper medical certification and failing to comply with a transfer order. The Court found that the appellant's prolonged absence was not justified by his claimed illness, which was deemed a ruse to evade transfer. The dismissal was affirmed as the appellant's conduct was unbecoming of a bank officer, and the High Court's findings were supported by evidence.
