JUDGMENT : PARTHA SARTHY, J. The appeal is against the judgment of the learned Single Judge which sought for continuance and conclusion of the selection process initiated by the respondent bank for appointment of Armed Guards 2. The employment notice itself was dated 10.10.2017, which was later cancelled by a communication dated 27.03.2018. The selection process had been pursued for sometime, but was dropped at the stage of verification of documents. The writ petitioners, who are applicants had challenged the cancellation of the selection. 3. Learned Single Judge at the outset found that the mere fact that an advertisement was issued and the procedure for selection was carried out for sometime would not create any right on the applicants to be appointed to the post or even for being considered to the post. We are perfectly in agreement with the aforesaid finding. 4. Learned Single Judge went further and looked at the supplementary counter affidavit filed by the respondent bank which according to them, justified the cancellation. It was stated that the selection procedure was initiated on the basis of the working strength of Armed Guards as on 19.09.2016. However, after the advertisement was issued, the approved manpower plan for the years 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 left no scope for any further appointment. On a re-assessment of the requisite manpower, the selection procedure itself was abandoned. The learned Single Judge found that this is perfectly within the exclusive policy domain of the respondent bank and hence cannot be interfered with. We are also in agreement with the said finding. 5. The selection itself was initiated in the year 2017 and there cannot be any direction at this stage to carry out appointments based on such selection. Even if there are vacancies available as of now, there would have been other persons who qualified for such appointment and the proper course would then be a fresh selection. 6. We perfectly agree with the judgment of the learned Single Judge and find no reason to interfere with the same. 7. The appeal stands dismissed.
