There was no ground to interfere in the order of punishment," the court said.   Vijaya Bank's counsel told the court that Grover was dismissed from his job after he was twice found guilty of theft twice while on duty.   A chargesheet was served on him for his involvement in a theft of Rs 900 in 1987 and Rs 650 in 1997, the counsel said.   Disciplinary proceedings were initiated against Grover and the inquiry officer found that the charges of theft were true. As a result, the disciplinary authority recommended his removal from service, the counsel said.   Grover had challenged the validity of the departmental inquiry before the appellate authority but his plea was rejected.   He then filed a case with the Industrial Tribunal seeking benefits under the Industrial Disputes Act. The tribunal, after examining evidence from the bank and Grover, passed an order in the bank's favour and said "the decision taken by the bank was fair and proper."
