UCO BANK vs RAJINDER LAL CAPOOR

The Supreme Court reviewed its earlier judgment in Civil Appeal No. 2739 of 2007 concerning the disciplinary proceedings against a bank officer under the UCO Bank (Officers’) Service Regulations, 1979. The Court held that disciplinary proceedings cannot be deemed initiated without a charge sheet, referencing prior cases such as Union of India v. K.V. Jankiraman and Coal India Ltd. v. Saroj Kumar Mishra. The review petition was allowed, emphasizing the necessity of following procedural regulations in disciplinary actions.
