Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal against the order of the Allahabad High Court which had quashed disciplinary proceedings against the respondent, Krishna Kumar Bhardwaj. The court found that the respondent had committed serious misconduct while serving as a manager at UCO Bank, justifying the disciplinary action taken against him. The judgment reaffirms the authority of banks to enforce conduct regulations against their employees.
