Respondent No. 2 the Karnal Central Co-operative Bank Ltd., Karnal through advertisement dated 7th of March, 1979, invited applications for various posts, namely Senior/Junior Accountants, Clerks, Cashiers, Steno-typists, Guard and Peons. The petitioners and others applied. On 28th of June, 1979, a Selection Committee authorised to prepare a list of the selected candidates, after interview prepared list Annexure P.4 to C.W.P. No. 3925 of 1979, which included the names of the petitioners. This list had to be finally approved by the Board of Directors of Respondents No. 2. However, it was a different list, Annexure P.7 to C.W.P. No. 3925 of 1979, that was placed before the Board of Directors for approval instead of list Annexure P.4 to C.W.P. No. 3125 of 1979. Through Writ Petition No. 4925 of 1979, the above action of the Selection Committee was challenged by Sahib Singh on the ground that the Selection Committee had suppressed the original list, Annexure P.4 and submitted another list Annexure P.7 which contained the names of person who had not even applied or appeared for interview and some of the persons included therein were relations of the Selection Committee and others.

Petitioners No. 1 and 2 had then again to come to this Court in order to challenge the said action of respondent No. 2 through C.W.P. No. 3124 of 1980. This Court stayed selections to be so made and thereafter disposed of the writ petition by passing the following agreed order on October 3, 1980 :-
