The Karnataka State Bank of India (SBI) branch manager who refused to speak Kannada with a customer was recently transferred, and this article investigates the circumstances around that transfer. This administrative action is evaluated to determine whether or not it violates the fundamental rights of the manager as outlined in Articles 14 and 19 of the Indian Constitution. Additionally, the significance of Article 21 is taken into consideration. The discussion provides an overview of the constitutional provisions of equality, freedom of speech, and personal liberty, as well as a review of the background for India’s language policy. Despite the fact that the transfer creates significant concerns regarding individual liberties, the essay argues that it does not constitute a violation of the constitution since the bank is obligated to follow the linguistic requirements of the local community. This is accomplished via the use of legal analysis and practical context.
