(2nd set) ------ 6. 11.05.2009 None appears on behalf of the parties. This appeal is directed against the order dated 20.9.1996, passed by a learned Single Judge of this Court in CWJC No.9441 of 1995 (Hari Nandan Rajak & Anr. Vs. The Banking Service Recruitment Board & Ors.), and the analogous writ petitions, whereby the writ petitions were allowed. We have perused the materials on record and considered the directions in the impugned order. The learned - 2 - Single Judge has passed the following directions: “Accordingly, I direct the Management of the Allahabad Bank and the United Bank of India, who are respondents in the aforementioned writ petitions, to take further action to appoint the persons as clerks strictly according to their position in the recommendation made by the Recruitment Board within two weeks.” It thus appears to us that the direction is entirely based on the recommendations of the Recruitment Board, and the appointments are directed to be made in accordance with the merit list. The impugned order cannot, therefore, be faulted. The appeal is dismissed. hr ( S. K. Katriar ) ( Kishore K. Mandal )
