S.B.I. STAFF ASON. vs S.B.I.

The Supreme Court addressed the maintainability of a Writ Petition under Article 32 of the Constitution, challenging a letter issued by the State Bank of India to its Staff Association. The Court held that the dismissal of an earlier Writ Petition without permission to file a fresh petition does not bar the current petition, emphasizing the right of the Staff Association to negotiate on behalf of its members under the Trade Unions Act, 1926. The Court ultimately allowed the appeal, affirming the right of the Staff Association to engage with the bank's management.
