M. RAJAIAH AND OTHERS[1], a Division Bench of this Court held that the Writ Petitions were not maintainable for settling the claims of the workmen of State Bank of India who were appointed on casual basis for regularisation/absorption in service and that the remedy for such workmen was under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
