IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3103 of 2003 RAM NATH MANJHI Versus THE STATE BANK OF INDIA & ORS ----------- 6/ 09/04/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State Bank of India. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the punishment imposed is not commensurate with the guilt and is excessively harsh. He submits that the petitioner proposes to file an application for re- consideration of the quantum of punishment imposed. The quantum of punishment is the employer’s prerogative and not for the Court to interfere with. If the petitioner files an application on the issue of the quantum of his punishment, merely because this Court may have declined to entertain that issue, shall not absolve the employer of his responsibility to appropriately, in accordance with law, consider any such application preferred by the petitioner. Let the same be done expeditiously. The writ application stands disposed with the aforesaid observation. KC (Navin Sinha, J.)
