HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 4622 of 1999 ORDER : In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks directions by way of Mandamus for inclusion of his name in the panel of temporary Attenders for obsorption into the services of the respondent-Bank. But however, in the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents, it is stated that the petitioner was convicted by a Court of Assistant Sessions Judge in S.C.No.142 of 1991 and was sentenced to undergo Rigorous Imprisonment for six months and to pay a fine of Rs.250/-. It is not seriously disputed that under the provisions of Section 10(1) (b)(i) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, such a conviction is bar for employment in the Banking Companies. 2. In view of the stand taken by the respondents and particularly in view of the provisions contained under Section 10(1)(b)(i) of the Banking Regulation Act, the petitioner is not entitled for inclusion in the panel of temporary Attenders for absorption into the Banking services. 3. The writ petition is devoid of merits and it is accordingly dismissed. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 29th April 2008 ajr
