ASST G.M.&DIS.AUTHY.SYNDICATE BANK vs ASHOK . — C.A. No. 8412/2009

Summary of C.A. No. 008412/2009 The Supreme Court dismissed Syndicate Bank's appeal challenging the High Court's reinstatement of Ashok, who was terminated in 2003 for failing to produce original caste certificates. Although a Scrutiny Committee later invalidated Ashok's Scheduled Tribe (Halba) claim in 2007, the Court upheld his employment since his appointment was finalized in 1985—well before the 2000 cut-off date established by government resolution protecting such employees from termination based on caste certificate invalidation.
