In Era Of Cut-Throat Competition, Candidate Obtaining Employment Through Fake Marksheets Can't Claim Equity: Rajasthan High Court
Live LawRajasthan High Court has rejected the petition filed against order of the Rajasthan Rajya Vidhyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd. wherein petitioner's appointment was cancelled, on the grounds that the MBA degree based on which the appointment was obtained was fraudulent and false. The Court further ruled that in an era of cut-throat competition, no equity could be claimed by a candidate who produced fake mark-sheets for his degree. On the contrary, the counsel for the respondent submitted that the petitioner produced fake mark-sheets and also failed to produce a degree as per the undertaking. It was held that, “If the petitioner's mark-sheets given by the EIILM University is held invalid or ignored, then, obviously at the time of appearing in the recruitment process in the year, 2013, the petitioner did not have requisite educational qualification…in the era of cut-throat competition, a candidate who has produced fake mark-sheets cannot claim equity and pray that the degree he has obtained subsequently be considered.” Accordingly, the Court dismissed the petition ruling that the petitioner had no case either on merit or in equity.
