Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the breaking open of a bank locker by United Bank of India due to alleged non-payment of rent. The court found that the bank failed to provide adequate notice to the appellant before taking such action, thus violating principles of natural justice. The judgment of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission was set aside, and the bank was held liable for the loss suffered by the appellant.
