Sushila Tiwary & Ors vs Allahabad Bank & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of Shri Ravindra Nath Tiwary from the Allahabad Bank under Clause 19.6(a) of the Bi-partite Settlement, 1966, following his conviction under Section 468 IPC and Section 477A IPC. The Court emphasized that the disciplinary authority acted within its rights after Tiwary's failure to participate in the departmental inquiry. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, dismissing the appeal of Tiwary's legal heirs, thereby reinforcing the principle that non-participation in disciplinary proceedings can lead to adverse outcomes.
