It is not known whether the petitioners satisfy the conditions for waiver of educational qualification which is a matter to be verified by 2nd respondent. Since the Managing Committee of the Bank has requested for waiver of educational qualification, this WP(C) is disposed of with direction to 2nd respondent to consider the same and pass order after considering other required eligibility of the petitioners. Second respondent is directed to take decision within two months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment by the petitioners. If petitioners are presently holding charge as Branch Managers, there will be direction to the 3rd respondent not to promote or appoint any substitute in their places until decision is taken by the Registrar as above. This WP(C) is disposed of as above. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE) jg
