You are the aggrieved party. only you have to file the case. Your union cannot be said to have been affected. Union has no locus standi. However Union can also be a party along with the affected person(s).

File a review petition drafted by an expert advocate on punishment imposed. I am sure that management may at the most warn and reconsider their severe punishment.
Unless you exhaust the laid down process, it is not proper to approach the Court. Also consult with the All India Association and let them use their good offices for reduction in severity of this punishment.
Only for not joining the new promoted post, no management can take such severe step and there may be some other serious reasons.
Whether it iis a private bank or PSU, you have not provided information.

In your original post, you wanted to be enlightened.
Now I realise that even from the very beginning you are highly enlightened.
Try your luck.
