Minakshi Ghosh & Ors vs The State Of West Bengal & Ors on 4 December, 2025
(viii) The instant proceeding suffers from inexcusable delay and
laches, by which petitioners are challenging a recruitment process which
is in aid of initial recruitment initiated in the year 2016, there was a
finite number of applicants who were in the realm of the consideration in
34
2016. The answering respondents upon receipt of recommendation
letters had their rights crystallized under the 2016 recruitment process.
Reliance in this regard is placed on the decision of the learned Single
Judge of this Court in the case of OSMAN ALI SEKH vs. STATE OF
WEST BENGAL AND ORS. reported in 2006 SCC OnLine Cal 776 to
contend that once the commission issues recommendation right to
appointment automatically flows from such recommendation and refusal
to issue the appointment letter is a gross irregularity.
