As per case facts, a bank employee faced disciplinary proceedings for financial irregularities, including retaining excess customer funds, leading to a penalty of stoppage of annual increments. After exhausting internal ... remedies, he previously withdrew a Writ Petition to pursue a mercy appeal, subsequently filing this current Writ Petition after a considerable delay. The question arose whether the High Court, under its limited judicial review, could interfere with the disciplinary authority's findings or alter the penalty, especially when charges of financial misconduct were proven. Finally, the High Court ruled that its review is restricted to the decision-making process, not re-evaluation of evidence or substitution of punishment. It found the charges of financial irregularities and lack of integrity serious and the imposed penalty not shockingly disproportionate, thus dismissing the petition.
