Karnataka HC Pulls Up Milk Producers Federation For "Shunting" Reserved Category Candidate Sans Opportunity To Rectify Social Status Certificate
Live LawThe Karnataka High Court recently pulled up the Karnataka Cooperative Milk Producers Federation Limited for "shunting" a reserved category candidate to the general seat merely because the Social Status Certificate which he had uploaded with the application was not clearly visible. A division bench of Chief Justice Prasanna B Varale and Justice Krishna S Dixit said a simple intimation to the candidate of the so called defect would have been made the impugned action compliant with the principles of natural justice. This falls militantly short of the fairness standards, as rightly argued by learned counsel for the Appellant.” The bench thus directed the Federation to reconsider the candidature of Devraj PR for selection and appointment to the post advertised. Citation: 2023 LiveLaw 427 Case Title: Devaraj P R And Karnataka Cooperative Milk Producers Federation Limited.
