Case History
Summary of C.A. No. 443/2000 (N.K. Rajan v. S. Padma) Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed the main appeal (C.A. 443/2000) and allowed the related appeals (C.A. 1451-1452/2002 and C.A. 1453-1454/2002). The Court upheld the Alleppey District Cooperative Bank's right to complete recruitment selections based on a prior High Court order, rejecting arguments that a 1995 Ordinance requiring Kerala Public Service Commission recruitment had retrospectively nullified that right. Key Direction: The Court set aside the High Court's orders in related cases that had relied on the 1995 Ordinance, and consequently invalidated the Registrar's termination orders against the 53 appointed employees. The Bank's selections made pursuant to the High Court's earlier directions were deemed valid and binding. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
