Bank Of India & Ors vs T. Jogram

The Supreme Court upheld the disciplinary action taken against the respondent under Regulation 3(1) of the Bank of India Officer Employees (Conduct) Regulations, 1976, which mandates integrity and honesty from bank officers. The Court confirmed the findings of the Enquiry Officer that the respondent submitted inflated travel expenses and false lodging charges, constituting misconduct. The Court dismissed the appeal of the Bank of India against the High Court's order, which had previously overturned the disciplinary action, thereby reinstating the penalty of compulsory retirement imposed on the respondent.
