FARRUKHABAD GRAMIN BANK vs ASHOK SAXENA .

The Supreme Court held that the Farrukhabad Gramin Bank's appeal against the Allahabad High Court's order promoting the writ petitioners to the post of Field Supervisor was improperly filed as a special leave petition instead of a special appeal. The Court permitted the Bank to approach the Division Bench of the High Court for a special appeal, emphasizing that the time taken in this process would be excluded from the overall timeline. The order from the Division Bench regarding the promotion of the writ petitioners was rendered infructuous due to the remittal, and the High Court was requested to dispose of the matter on merits promptly.
