Allahabad Bank & Ors vs Krishna Narayan Tewari

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the disciplinary orders against the respondent, finding that the Disciplinary Authority and Appellate Authority failed to apply their minds and provide adequate reasoning for their conclusions. The Court cited precedents including Roop Singh Negi v. Punjab National Bank and others, emphasizing that findings must be based on evidence and not be perverse. The Court affirmed the High Court's directive for the bank to reinstate the respondent and provide service benefits, establishing that judicial review can correct procedural lapses in disciplinary proceedings.
