2. The aforesaid Writ Petitions preferred by the present appellants were allowed by Single Judge of High Court vide common Judgment and Order dated 14.12.2012. While setting aside the decision of the Single Judge, the Division Bench relied upon its Judgment rendered in Writ Appeal No.355 of 2013 and allied matters (Indian Overseas Bank and Another v. C.R.

4. The controversy in the present appeals is similar to that arising in Union Bank of India vs. United Bank of India Retirees' Welfare Associations and others which have been disposed of by us vide Judgment of even date.
