HONOURABLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.12290 of 2009 Date: 18.11.2009 Between: V.Devi Tanuja, Hyderabad. … Petitioner And State Bank of India, Rep., by its General Manager, Mumbai and another. … Respondent THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 12290 of 2009 O R D E R: The 1st respondent issued a notification dated 14.11.2008 inviting applications from eligible candidates for appointment as Customer Relationship Executives on contract basis. Pursuant thereto, the petitioner had applied and appeared for the written test held on 01.02.009. Thereafter, she received a call letter for the interview scheduled on 19.04.2009. However, her candidature was not considered by the respondents and aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents explaining that the petitioner while making her application on line, has mentioned her educational qualification as graduation in Science, though she is a graduate in Engineering. That apart, admittedly, she did not possess any experience as required under the notification. Heard both sides. It is relevant to note that in the notification itself it was made clear as under: “In case it is detected at any stage of recruitment that a candidate does not fulfil the eligibility norms and/or that he/she has furnished any incorrect/false information or has suppressed any material fact(s), his/her candidature will stand cancelled. If any of these shortcoming(s) is/are detected even after appointment, his/her services are liable to be terminated.” Admittedly, the petitioner did not satisfy the eligibility criteria both relating to educational qualification and experience. Whereas the petitioner is a graduate in Engineering (B.Tech), it was mentioned in her application submitted on line as graduation in Science. That apart, the fact that she did not possess any experience is not in dispute. In the circumstances, the action of the respondents in rejecting the candidature of the petitioner cannot be held to be arbitrary or illegal. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. _____________ G.ROHINI,J Date: 18.11.2009 KLP
