Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the Notification for the appointment of Attender and Peons by the Akalakunnam Village Service Co-op Bank Ltd., stating that the selection process violated the Kerala Co-operative Societies Rules and Circulars issued under Rule 182(5). The Court emphasized that the writ petitioners had a valid grievance as the selection process was not conducted in accordance with the prescribed rules. The Bank was directed to conduct a fresh selection process within six months, while allowing the selected candidates to work on a daily wage basis without any preference for future appointments.
