Subha B. Nair & Ors vs State Of Kerala & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Kerala High Court's decision regarding the filling of vacancies in a Cooperative Bank, affirming that only 208 posts were approved by the Registrar, and thus only 201 could be filled. The Court clarified that the approval of the Registrar is necessary for recruitment and that the bank's policy decision not to fill additional posts was valid. The judgment emphasized that the vacancies reported to the Public Service Commission must align with the sanctioned posts, leading to the dismissal of the appeals.
