ALLAHABAD BANK vs KRISHNA NARAYAN TEWARI

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the disciplinary action against the respondent, finding that the Disciplinary Authority and Appellate Authority failed to apply their minds and provide adequate reasoning for their conclusions, violating principles of natural justice. The Court referenced several precedents including Roop Singh Negi v. Punjab National Bank and others, emphasizing that findings must be based on evidence and proper reasoning. The Court affirmed the High Court's directive for the appellant bank to reinstate the respondent and provide all service benefits within ninety days.
