Candidates Can't Be Permitted To Amend Application Form Once Correction Window Expires: Rajasthan High Court Reiterates
Live Law“Candidature of a candidate can only be considered on the basis of the entries made by a candidate in his/her online/offline application form, including the correction/amendment made in such application form within the period allowed by the recruiting agency," the Rajasthan High Court said. Justice Ganesh Ram Meena reiterated that a candidate cannot be permitted to make correction/amendment in the online application form after the last date of submitting the application form or up to the period and opportunity allowed to the candidate for making correction/amendment in the application. The Court observed that as per settled law, a candidature is considered based on entries in the application form including the corrections/amendments made. Accordingly, the Court dismissed the petition disallowing the petitioner to make amendments/corrections in her application form since the correction window had closed.
