    Case Summary: WPS/1937/2022 - Jitendra Kumar Bareth v. Punjab National Bank The Chhattisgarh High Court dismissed the petitioner's challenge to his removal from service by Punjab National Bank. Bareth, a bank employee, failed to deposit Rs. 14.32 lakhs received from customers, subsequently depositing it in installments after discovery. Following a proper departmental inquiry where he admitted the misconduct, the bank imposed removal from service with superannuation benefits. The court upheld this penalty, finding no procedural irregularities and holding that voluntary repayment of defrauded funds cannot override the serious breach of trust inherent in mishandling customer deposits.
