The co-operative bank has 93 branches across Chandrapur district in Maharashtra.
Due to several retirements over the years, the board of directors in November 2021, decided to take steps to fill up such vacancies.
After the necessary initial approvals, the bank published an advertisement for recruitment.
The bank claimed in its plea that its chairman’s political opponent, who is a lawmaker, made allegations of corruption with regard to the recruitment process.
The bank then received a communication from the Co-operation department about stay in the recruitment process.
In response, the bank addressed a representation to the Minister of Co-operation, who after due consideration, vacated the stay on November 23, 2022.
This order of the in-charge minister was thereafter stayed by the CM, which came to be challenged by the bank by way of the present plea.
