UNITED BANK OF INDIA vs BISWANATH BHATTACHARJEE

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal by United Bank of India against a Calcutta High Court ruling that reinstated an employee dismissed for alleged misconduct. The Court examined the delay in initiating disciplinary proceedings and the adequacy of evidence against the employee. It concluded that the prolonged delay and lack of substantial evidence undermined the bank's case, leading to the decision to uphold the High Court's order for reinstatement.
