State Bank Of India vs Ram Lal Bhaskar & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution by quashing the dismissal order of the respondent no.1, as four out of six charges of misconduct were proved in the departmental enquiry. The Court emphasized that judicial review does not entail re-evaluation of evidence but rather ensures that the enquiry was conducted fairly and based on relevant material. The Court set aside the High Court's order and reinstated the dismissal, affirming the authority's decision as justified under the circumstances.
