Abha Bansal v. the Karnal Central Coop Bank Ltd. Karnal and Others
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court of Punjab and Haryana dismissed writ petitions seeking to quash illegal appointments of employees. Citing precedents, the Court held that considering the employees' long service and advanced age, it would be extremely harsh to displace them. Without intending to set a precedent, the Court chose not to interfere to avoid hardship.
What did the court decide?
Writ petitions dismissed; illegal appointments maintained to avoid hardship to long-serving, overage appointees.
