Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 24-08-2026
Case Overview
- Petitioners: Board of Directors/Appellate Authority, Chhattisgarh Rajya Gramin Bank & Anr.
- Respondent: Anjani Kumar Tiwari.
- The application arose from the impugned final judgment and order dated 02-02-2026 in C.A. No. 679/2026.
- Petitioners sought clarification on paragraphs 9 and 10 of that order, which dealt with subsistence allowance payable from termination to actual retirement and a three‑month deadline for a fresh inquiry with allowance payment within two weeks.
- Counsel for petitioners argued that the subsistence‑allowance direction was moot because the respondent had already received salary after reinstatement, making any further payment ineligible.
- Respondent’s counsel did not seriously dispute this position.
Order
1. The Court condoned a 77‑day delay in filing the miscellaneous application.
2. The Court modified the excerpted portion of the 02-02-2026 order, deleting the clause on subsistence‑allowance payment and retaining only: “The inquiry initiated afresh shall be completed within a period of three months.”
3. A corrected copy of the order was made available to the parties.
4. The miscellaneous application and IA No. 161350/2026 were disposed of.
Final Outcome
- The delay was condoned, the subsistence‑allowance clause was removed, and the parties received the corrected order; the application is now closed.
