SALEM DISTRICT CENTRAL CO-OPERATIVE BANK vs G.SENTHILKUMAR — C.A. No. 3025 - 3035/2015

Case Summary: Salem District Central Co-operative Bank v. G. Senthilkumar Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeals and set aside the High Court of Madras Division Bench order dated 14.03.2013. The Court held that the respondents were not entitled to direct appointment at the bank's relaxed age limit (40 years), as the amended bye-laws prescribing an age limit of 37 years applied to the appointment process conducted after their effective date. Key Issue: Whether respondents aged between 37-40 years qualified for direct appointment under pre-amendment or post-amendment bye-laws when the employment notification was issued before, but candidate sponsorship occurred after, bye-law amendments effective 24.08.2007. Ruling: The Court found no vested right to appointment and held that appointment consideration occurring after amended bye-laws took effect must follow current norms, not historical ones.
