MR. JUSTICE S. RAVINDRA BHAT

1. This letters patent appeal is preferred by an unsuccessful writ petitioner whose claim was rejected by a learned single judge in his judgment dated 06.02.2013. The appellant had sought for a direction that the results of his examination in the recruitment process/selection of candidates, conducted by the State Bank of India (SBI), should be declared.

2. The appellant completed his Bachelor in Arts and applied for the position of clerk in the SBI in September 2009 as a General Candidate. He later received a call letter to appear in the written examination from SBI. The appellant appeared in the written examination on 15.11.2009. He claims to have performed diligently and to the best of his abilities. The appellant submits that he did not receive any response thereafter from the SBI with respect to the result of the examination. He sought a response under the Right to Information Act [RTI]. The SBI did not share any information which led to the filing of an appeal. On 04.02.2011 the Appellate Authority issued an order directing the Public Information Officer to provide the appellant a copy of his mark sheet that had been sought by him. Later
