J & K Bank Ltd.& Ors vs Neelam Rani

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in dismissing the second appeal without addressing the substantial questions of law regarding the voluntary retirement order under Rule 265-A of the J & K Bank Officers Service Rules, 1987. The Court emphasized that the High Court must formulate and consider these questions in a reasoned manner. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remitted the case for proper adjudication within six months.
