Shirsath, Advocate for petitioner Mr. P.B. Paithankar, Advocate for respondent bank. CORAM :- P.B. MAJMUDAR & S.S. SHINDE, JJ. DATE :- 2nd May, 2011. PER COURT :- 1] By way of this petition, the petitioner has prayed that the respondent bank may be directed to give appointment to the petitioner on the basis of his selection to the post of Probationary Officer. 2] In this connection, it is required to be noted that the petitioner has been selected by the State Bank of India and for which the appointment order is given as Probationary Officer, by order dated 21st February,2011. However, the petitioner was directed to produce the caste validity certificate before getting such appointment. It is not in dispute that the caste validity certificate of the petitioner is invalidated by the Caste Scrutiny Committee. The petitioner admittedly do not have any caste validity certificate with him in view of the order passed by the Scrutiny Committee dated 16th April, 2004.

The Assistant General Manager, SBI, Mumbai” Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's Orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. 2 has refused to issue the posting order in favour of the petitioner on the ground that the petitioner has filed a writ petition against the order passed by the Scrutiny committee invalidating his caste claim and the matter is sub-judice in which an interim stay is also granted in favour of the petitioner. 3] In our view, the bank is absolutely justified in not giving posting to the petitioner in view of the fact that the caste Scrutiny Committee has already invalidated the caste claim of the petitioner finding that the claim of the petitioner is not genuine. Simply because the petition filed by the petitioner challenging the order of the scrutiny committee is pending, cannot be a ground to issue posting order. Learned counsel for the bank has pointed out that the bank is not a party to the said writ petition. Since the matter is sub-judice, any decision can be taken after the said writ petition is finally decided. As such, the prayers made in the present petition cannot be granted. Hence, the writ petition is summarily dismissed. [S.S. SHINDE, J.] [P.B. MAJMUDAR, J.] grt/-
