Rule 23 MP Civil Services (Conduct) Rules | Discharge for Public Fund Misappropriation Not Disproportionate Despite Long Service: Jharkhand HC
Jharkhand HC affirms that misappropriation of public funds by a bank officer justifies discharge, even with long service. The court held that repayment does not absolve misconduct, and judicial interference is unwarranted unless punishment shocks conscience. Banks and public sector employers gain clarity on disciplinary actions for financial misconduct.
