Baitarani Gramiya Bank vs Pallab Kumar And Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision directing the appellant-Bank to issue appointment orders to selected candidates for the posts of Officer/Field Supervisors, despite the Bank's claims of financial constraints and revised indents. The Court emphasized that the candidates had a legitimate expectation of appointment based on the selection process conducted by the Banking Service Recruitment Board (BSRB) under the relevant recruitment rules. The judgment clarified that mere financial difficulties do not negate the rights accrued to candidates post-selection under the Banking Service Recruitment Act.
