Rajbir Surajbhan Singh vs The Chairman, Institute Of Banking ...

The Supreme Court held that the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) qualifies as an 'other authority' under Article 12 of the Constitution of India, thereby making it amenable to writ jurisdiction under Article 226. The Court found that the IBPS, despite being a registered society, operates under significant government control and fulfills a public function in conducting examinations for public sector banks. The Court overturned the High Court's dismissal of the Appellant's writ petition, allowing the challenge against the disqualification from the selection process for Clerk-III posts due to non-compliance with certificate requirements.
