Patna HC order to SBI on PO Exam results

The Patna High Court on Friday issued a notice to the State Bank of India stating that publication of the result of its recent competitive examination for the post of probationary officer (PO) would be subject to the outcome of a writ petition pending before it.

A single bench presided by Justice Ajay Kumar Tripathi passed the order on the writ petition of one Ratnesh Kumar who alleged that he was not allowed to appear at the interview despite having been called for it after clearing the written test.

Petitioner’s counsel Vijay Kumar submitted when the petitioner went for the interview on February 11, he was told that he was not eligible because he had not secured aggregate 55% marks each at pass course and honours levels.

The petitioner has pleaded that one of the eligibility criteria mentioned in the advertisement for the vacancies was “55% marks at graduation level”. Since he has this score at the honours level, he should have been allowed to face the interview.
