An employer cannot question what his employee does inside a closed room, observed Bombay high court recently while restrainingState Bank of India from filling a top executive level position. The bank had terminated the service of its general manager (official language) for "tarnishing its image". Among the allegations was one that instead of attending a conference on September 11-12, 2012, in Chandigarh, he stayed back in the room and "was drinking throughout the day" and that the guest house's caretaker revealed he "was moving inside the room without clothes".
A bench of Justice SJ Vazifdar and Justice KR Shriram heard a petition by Vannadil Balakrishnan, holding a doctorate in Hindi, challenging SBI's action saying he was denied opportunity of hearing. Balakrishnan worked for 23 years with the Central government before joining the bank through direct recruitment on November 16, 2011, on a one-year probation. He was summarily discharged on December 1, 2012.
