S.B.I vs NEELAM NAG

The Supreme Court ruled that the High Court's order to stay disciplinary proceedings against Neelam Nag, pending the outcome of a criminal case based on the same facts, was not justified. The Court emphasized that disciplinary proceedings can continue independently of criminal proceedings, as established in various precedents. The appeal was allowed, and the stay order was set aside, allowing the Bank to proceed with its disciplinary action under the relevant service regulations.
