BATIARANI GRAMIYA BANK vs PALLABKUMAR

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision directing the Bank to issue appointment orders for the posts of Officer/Field Supervisors, emphasizing that the candidates had a legitimate expectation of appointment based on the selection process conducted by the Banking Service Recruitment Board (BSRB). The Court noted that the Bank's financial difficulties, including losses and operational constraints, did not negate the candidates' rights once the selection process was completed. The judgment reinforced the principle that once a selection process is undertaken, candidates have a right to be appointed unless there are compelling reasons to the contrary, which were not established in this case.
