https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=448616 Delhi HC set aside the cancellation of petitioner's candidature for Delhi Judicial Service (DJS) appointment. The candidature was cancelled for allegedly concealing pending criminal prosecution in the application form. The Court found the query regarding prosecution/arrest/detention in the application form was ambiguous due to punctuation marks that could be interpreted conjunctively rather than disjunctively. The Court noted DHC's inconsistent approach, as another candidate with similar circumstances faced no action despite also having pending criminal proceedings. The petition was allowed, and the impugned communication cancelling the candidature was set aside. en-us Tue, 05 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 24 Jan 2024 14:49:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=448616 Delhi HC set aside the cancellation of petitioner's candidature for Delhi Judicial Service (DJS) appointment.
