CENTRAL BANK OF INDIA vs NRIPENDRA NATH SARKAR

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the dismissal of the respondent, a bank clerk, was unjustified due to procedural irregularities and bias in the inquiry process. The Court noted that the original charge of Rs.36,990.53 was reduced to Rs.9,662.46, indicating a dilution of the charges. The Court emphasized the need for fair procedure under Article 14 and Article 21 of the Constitution, ultimately allowing the respondent to appeal against the dismissal order.
