SRINAGAR, May 11: The Division Bench of Ritu Tagor (J) and Prasant Kumar (A) in Central Administrative Tribunal bench Srinagar has ruled out to consider the category certificate by the authorities obtained by the candidate after the cut-off date for any advertised post.
Bench said to consider the backward category certificate for appointment on the post obtained by the candidate after the cut-off date would amount to rewriting the terms of the advertisement.
CAT added that permitting the applicant to rely upon a certificate obtained after the cut-off date would amount to rewriting the terms of the advertisement and granting an undue advantage to one candidate at the cost of others who complied with the prescribed conditions within time.
The bench dismissed the plea in its considered opinion that the aggrieved candidate was not eligible for consideration under the RBA category as on the cut-off date. Therefore, the action of the respondent-authorities in rejecting his candidature does not suffer from any illegality.
