Harsher Punishment Of Dismissal, Compared To Lighter Punishment For Co-Delinquent In Same Incident, Unsustainable: Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court ruled that the dismissal of a bank branch manager violated Article 14 of the Indian Constitution, which guarantees the right to equality. The court found that the manager had been dismissed without proper justification, while others in similar situations were treated more leniently. The judgment emphasizes the importance of equal treatment in employment decisions and affirms that arbitrary dismissals are unconstitutional.
