5.1. The appellant inter alia submitted that misleading and vague reply was provided by the respondent. The appellant alleged that as per RBI promotion policy of 2012, relaxations were applicable only till the year 2016. Hence, she specifically sought for the justification of Board approval for the relaxation given in the 3 years Branch Manager Service for the promotion process conducted in year ending 2017. As per the promotion policy declared by the bank vide staff circular no: 6362 dated 11.05.2016, based on which the promotion process from Scale IV to Scale V was declared vide staff circular no: 6506 dated 19.12.2016, there was no provision even to the Board to give relaxation in Branch Manager service period. The appellant alleged that the staff circular quoted no. 6685 dated 30.10.2017 was issued subsequently, therefore, the same was not relevant to the relaxation given in the year ending 2017.
