Uco Bank & Anr vs Rajinder Lal Capoor

The Supreme Court reviewed its earlier judgment regarding the disciplinary proceedings against a bank officer, emphasizing that under the UCO Bank (Officers') Service Regulations, 1979, a legal fiction exists that disciplinary proceedings are deemed pending if a notice to show cause is issued. The Court held that the absence of a chargesheet does not negate the initiation of disciplinary proceedings, referencing the principles established in Union of India v. K.V. Jankiraman and others. The review petition was allowed, clarifying the applicability of the 1979 Regulations in the context of the case.
