PRAMOD K. SRIVASTAV vs DWARIKA RAI — C.A. No. 3954/1998

Summary of C.A. No. 003954/1998: Pramod K. Srivastav v. Dwarika Rai The Supreme Court set aside the Allahabad High Court's judgment directing the bank to declare results of a 1987 selection process for 13 Area Manager positions and appoint respondents retrospectively from 1987. The Court held that since the 1987 selection was never finalized or approved by the Board of Directors, no enforceable right arose from it. The bank validly withdrew that selection in 1996 and conducted a fresh selection under new guidelines, pursuant to which respondents were selected and promoted from 1996. The Court allowed both appeals on November 7, 2001, finding the High Court's mandamus direction wholly unjustified.
