The Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank vs Narendra Kumar Sinha

The Supreme Court set aside the orders of the Division Bench and the Single Judge of the Patna High Court, remanding the case to the Single Judge for a decision on merits. The Court found that the Single Judge had erred in remanding the matter to the Appellate Authority instead of addressing the merits of the writ petition directly. The judgment emphasizes the importance of addressing the substantive issues in employment disputes under Service Law, particularly in cases of dismissal following departmental inquiries.
