Canara Bank By Its M.D vs Damodhar Govind Idoorkar & Ors

The Supreme Court modified the Karnataka High Court's order directing Canara Bank to pay full back wages to respondent No.1, who was reinstated after termination for allegedly producing a false caste certificate. The Court held that the Division Bench's decision was not justified and directed the Bank to pay 50% of the back wages instead, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach given the circumstances of the case. The appeal was disposed of with this modification and no costs were awarded.
