Summary of CWP/14167/2008 The High Court of Punjab and Haryana dismissed Bhupinder Singh's petition challenging his 2004 dismissal from Punjab National Bank for fraudulent withdrawals of Rs. 1,00,000 from KVC accounts. The court found that the disciplinary inquiry was properly conducted with adequate opportunity for the employee's defense, the dismissal order was validly communicated via registered post and newspaper notices, and the ex-parte inquiry was justified since the petitioner deliberately avoided participation. The court rejected unsubstantiated allegations of bias and bribery, holding that dismissal was proportionate to the serious misconduct involving fiduciary breach by a bank officer. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
