S.B.I & Ors vs Palak Modi & Anr.Etc

The Supreme Court addressed the termination of services of Palak Modi and Prabhat Dixit under Rule 16(3) of the State Bank of India (Officers’ Service) Rules, 1992, due to alleged unfair means in a confirmation test. The Court held that the decision to terminate was justified as the respondents failed to meet the required performance standards during their probation period, emphasizing the importance of adherence to the Bank's evaluation criteria. The appeals against the Allahabad High Court's order were dismissed, affirming the Bank's authority to terminate services based on performance evaluations.
