Gajanan Marotrao Nimje vs The Reserve Bank Of India

The Supreme Court held that the termination of employees of the Reserve Bank of India based on caste verification was improper, as the High Court failed to consider a relevant circular issued on 01.07.2013 which provided for the protection of services for employees confirmed before 28.11.2000. The Court emphasized that employees who had been appointed against Scheduled Tribe vacancies could be treated as General Category employees under certain conditions, thus establishing that procedural fairness must be adhered to in employment matters. The Court set aside the High Court's order and directed that the appellants' services be protected as per the circular.
