CHIEF MANAGER PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK vs ANIT KUMAR DAS

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court, which directed Punjab National Bank to allow the respondent to discharge his duties as a Peon despite his higher qualification as a graduate. The Court emphasized that the respondent did not disclose his graduate status in his application, which was a violation of the eligibility criteria set forth in Circular Letter No. 25 of 2008. The Court held that the cancellation of the respondent's appointment was justified due to the deliberate suppression of information regarding his educational qualifications.
