Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to reinstate the employee of Central Bank of India, whose termination was based on the invalidation of her Scheduled Tribe certificate. The Court emphasized that the Scrutiny Committee's findings, which concluded that the employee did not belong to the 'Thakur Scheduled Tribe', were not challenged by the employee in her writ petition. The Court held that while the termination was valid, the employee should be reinstated without back-wages, affirming the importance of due process in employment matters under Article 14 of the Constitution.
