Candidate next in merit entitled to appointment where selected candidate had forged credentials — waiting list limitation cannot defeat lawful right caused by departmental delay.
Summary
The petitioner (Serial No. 36 in merit list) sought appointment as Primary School Teacher (PST) after the appointment of a higher-ranked candidate (Serial No. 35) was withdrawn due to a forged degree.
The department refused appointment on the ground that the waiting list expired after 90 days and posts were re-advertised.
