My father has served for more than 30 years in a regional rural bank in the state of Madhya Pradesh and he is a scale 3 manager. There was a fraud done by one of the staff in branch under my fathers management. The culprit used my fathers id and password to log into the system to approve payment transfers to his relatives bank account in the same bank. Now this matter came to light and the person was duely fired. However my father is fired as well even though he was not involved at all in this fraud and has not signed any forged payment vouchers. Only entries im system are made using his id. This was done by culprit aftery father used to leave from work. Also the money transferred wrongfully was still lying in other bank accounts of culprits relatives and has been recovered by the bank. Kindly help me and let me know the remedies available. More than anything, it is a matter of my fathers reputation who spent his life for the bank. Are case laws G. Mohana krishna Naidu vs. The National Bank of India ltd. And similar case laws help my father?

In this case you have indicated that your father's ID was used fro fraud.
If his ID came to the hand of unscrupulous person then he has failed to protect ID and this is good and sufficient reason fro putting him out of job.

Protecting Id and password is the prime duty of every official in the Bank. By not doing so he is putting on stake himself and the Bank. Your father has not observed this basic requirement.
There is very little hope in such circumstances till in cyber crime process, your father establishes beyond doubt that the password was illegally acquired by the so called culprit.

ask him to file a proper complaint in cyber cell and later request the management to reinstate if not agreed file a writ petition.

Your father's role might have been analysed in the departmental inquiry before termination. What are the findings of departmental inquiry? Whether he has been given fair chance to represent his case in the inquiry. There is a system of appeal after penalty is served. Whether that appeal is exhausted or not? contact me on mobile 9490753458.
