KRISHNA DEVI vs NARESH KUMAR — C.A. No. 8295/2010

Case Summary: C.A. No. 008295/2010 (Krishna Devi v. Naresh Kumar) Outcome: The Supreme Court set aside removal directions against the appellants and disposed of the appeals. The Court invoked Article 142 of the Constitution to allow the four surviving appellants to continue working with the respondent Bank until retirement, finding that ~20 years had elapsed since their compassionate appointments in 1999-2000 and one appellant had only two years left to retire, making removal unjust despite qualification concerns for promotions.
