HC Allows J&K Bank to Continue With Election 1850 PO, BA Posts.
Jammu Kashmir- The J&K High Court on Monday dismissed appeals challenging Jammu and Kashmir Bank's new announcement to fill 350 probation officers and their 1500 banking counterparts.
Applications were lodged with at least 288 candidates who participated in the election process following a notice on 6 October 2018 and challenged the bank's 15 April 2020 bank announcement to cancel the entire election process.
Subsequently, the bank had issued a promotional notice (no. JKB / HR-Rectt-2020-27 & 28) on January 1, 2020, inviting applications from candidates for the position of Prosecuting Officers and Banking Associates.
"It does not need to be repeated that as the selection process has not yet been finalized, applicants have no right to challenge the defendants' decision to go for a denovo exercise," said Judge Ali Mohammad Magrey's bench.
“It is a national law that a job seeker does not have the right to seek nomination even if his or her name appears on the shortlist. In the present case, however, the selection process was far from complete; therefore, the challenge posed to the respondent action (J&K Bank) is invalid, ”the court said in terms of the GNS, adding," authorized cancellation is, therefore, considered reasonable and therefore not unreasonable. "
Subsequently, the court dismissed the appeals as "unfounded."
Temporary correction, if any, will be left out. Respondents will continue with the new selection process launched in accordance with the advertised notice, "the court added.
The petitioners in their application said there were no grounds for disclosure by the Bank when it issued the 15 April 2020 notice, to cancel the nomination process for the positions of Probationary Officers and Banking Associates. They argued that the bank's failure to provide reasons for its decision was tantamount to denying justice.
“The agency that conducted the online survey in question has a well-known record; Therefore, the cancellation of this process does not appear to be valid and as a result the decision to cancel the electoral process is illegal and illegal, therefore, it should be declared as ultra-vires of the Constitution, ”they prayed.
The appellants argued that "a limited right to fair consideration is available to the candidate who participates in the electoral process which cannot be taken lightly and unreasonably."
