He is eligible for the post of Class-IV employment. He could not prosecute his further studies due to financial problems and got registered his name with the 2nd respondent /District Employment Exchange. Even though his name was registered with the 2nd respondent, he was never called to any interview for any post. While so, certain vacancies for the post of Temporary Attenders arose in all the branches of Syndicate Bank under the control and jurisdiction of the 1st respondent. The 1st respondent made requisition with the 2nd respondent to sponsor suitable and eligible candidates for the said post. While knowing the said fact, the petitioner approached the 1st respondent herein to permit him to appear for the said selection process to be held on 8.7.2011 for the said post as he is eligible and qualified for the said post, but the 1st respondent expressed his inability stating that unless his name is sponsored by the 2nd respondent, they cannot permit the petitioner to appear for the selection process.
