The first respondent bank made a requisition to the respondents 2 and 3 to sponsor the candidates belonging t o OC, BC, SC and ST community for the posts of temporary Attenders. The grievance of the petitioners is that the respondents have not been receiving the applications from the candidates other than those sponsored by the Employment Exchange.
The present writ petition is therefore filed to direct the respondents to receive the applications from the petitioners for the posts of temporary Attenders without insisting upon their names being sponsored by the Employment Exchange.
Reliance is placed by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners on EXCISE SUPERINTENDENT MALKAPATNAM, KRISHNA DISTDRICT, A.P., Vs.

K.B.N. VISWESHWARA RAO AND OTHERS , wherein, the Supreme Court has laid down categorically that restricting the selection only to the candidates sponsored by employment exchange is not proper.

In view of the above Judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, the respondents are under obligation to receive the application from the petitioners.
Therefore, the respondents are directed to receive the applications from the petitioners and allow them to participate in the selection process including the written test and interviews to the existing vacancies of temporary Attender posts without insisting that their names must be sponsored by the Employment Exchange.
Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. The Miscellaneous Petitions pending if any shall stand closed.
