S.B.I 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 set forth in the confirmation policy. The judgment affirmed the Allahabad High Court's order, upholding the Bank's authority to terminate services based on the respondents' failure in evaluation tests.
