JUDGMENT
and order dated
HIGH COURT OF DELHI
(C) No.55 of 2013.
We are presently concerned with the process of selection issued vide advertisement dated 30.08.2007 for the posts of
“A”Grade Staff Nurse, Municipal Corporation of Delhi. The appellant had offered his candidature as a person belonging to
Other Backward Class. His candidature was however rejected by the Authorities inter alia on the ground that the documents certifying him to be belonging to that community were not filed before the cut-off date.
The challenge raised by the appellant to such rejection did not meet with any success and the High Court by the order presently under challenge rejected the writ petition in limine.
It must be stated here that an identical fact situation came up for consideration before this Court in Ram Kumar
Gijroya v. Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board &
Another, (2016) 4 SCC 754, wherein this Court ruled in favour of the concerned candidate. The instant matter is thus completely covered by said decision.
However, it must be noted here that as a result of cancellation of the candidature, the appellant was never appointed to the post in question and at this length in time, it will not be possible to grant any substantial relief to the appellant.
Therefore, the appeal is disposed of with no order as to costs. .....................…....CJI.
