S.B.I.. vs KAMAL KISHORE PRASAD — C.A. No. 11146/2013

Summary: S.B.I. v. Kamal Kishore Prasad, C.A. No. 011146/2013 The Supreme Court allowed SBI's appeal, setting aside the High Court's dismissal of the bank's Letters Patent Appeal regarding the dismissal of respondent Kamal Kishore Prasad, a bank officer, for misconduct. The Court found that while the single judge correctly applied the principle that the deciding authority must assign reasons for disagreement with an enquiry officer's findings, the Division Bench made inappropriate observations. The Court directed the Appointing Authority to take an appropriate decision within two months, noting the officer had already retired by superannuation.
