The Text below is only a summarized version of the order pronounced

Defendant who working as a cashier in appellant bank dismissed from service on ground of
several irregularities and illeglities. Dismissal Order set aside by High Court on ground that
defalcation cannot be said to have been established and that punishment inflicted was
disproportionate. On basis of precedents it had been held that Court should not interfere with
quantum of punishment unless conscience of Court is found to be shocking. Supreme Court
quashed judgment of High Court as it was not open for High Court to depreciate evidence on
basis of which enquiry officer arrived at his conclusion.
