The High Court of Patna affirmed a ruling by a Single Judge in the case of The Chairman, Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank and Ors. v. Ramendra Prasad Gauro, where the employer was directed to reinstate its employee with back pay. This was because Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank had committed a breach of statutory provisions and principles of natural justice by neglecting to take into account the employee’s response to its enquiry order.
