Live LawThe Delhi High Court has observed that a mere mistake of filing Income Tax Return certificate instead of Income Certificate cannot lead to a situation where an eligible meritorious candidate is deprived of the scholarship, when the two documents prove "same parameters of income requirements".Justice Prathiba M Singh made the observation while directing the Ministry of Social Justice. The Delhi High Court has observed that a mere mistake of filing Income Tax Return certificate instead of Income Certificate cannot lead to a situation where an eligible meritorious candidate is deprived of the scholarship, when the two documents prove "same parameters of income requirements". "The eligibility of the present candidate i.e., the Petitioner is not in doubt as is evident from the recommendation of the University that has been placed on record, as also from the Income Tax Returns and the Income Certificate," the court said. Noting that the petitioner has been found meritorious by the university and was in the merit list, both in the first and second year, the court said: "Considering these facts and submissions, in the opinion of this Court, a mere discrepancy in filing the Income Tax Return instead of the Income Certificate, despite the two documents evidencing the same parameters of income requirements, cannot lead to a situation where an eligible meritorious candidate is deprived of the scholarship."
