BILASPUR RAIPUR K.GRAMIN BANK vs MADANLAL TANDON

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the removal of the respondent from service, emphasizing the violation of principles of natural justice as outlined in Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court found that the respondent was not provided with necessary documents and a list of witnesses during the disciplinary proceedings, which hindered his ability to defend himself effectively. Consequently, the Court directed the appellants to pay the respondent's salary up to Rs. 5,00,000 with all consequential benefits.
