You can file the case wherein the first the head office/ registered office of the bank is situated, but since cause of action happened in punjab and the branch office is there it is better you file case before the court in punjab.

You can file a cse at the place where the cause of action arose.

If the departmental enquiry was conducted and you were punished at a place where you were employed at that time, the jurisdiction will be a court within that place.

Hello,

The case will be filed at the place where the cause of action took place or if you are challenging some order then the case can be filed at the place from where (the office address) the order has been passed.
