SYNDICATE BANK vs SHANKAR PAUL

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of appointment of temporary attenders in the bank, emphasizing the need for the bank to consider the past services of the empanelled candidates while forming a new panel. The Court held that the age limit imposed by the bank should not disqualify the candidates who had previously worked for more than 90 days. The Court directed that the candidates' cases should be sympathetically considered for employment, thereby reinforcing the principle of fair opportunity in public employment under Article 14 of the Constitution of India.
