Appointment Ratification Cures Procedural Defects | Post-Joining Cancellation Invalid Under Service Law : MP HC

The Madhya Pradesh High Court holds that when a statutory board ratifies an appointment, any prior procedural irregularities are cured, and the appointment cannot be nullified after the candidate has joined and relinquished prior employment. This reinforces the principle that substantive fairness trumps technical non-compliance once service has commenced, protecting public employees from arbitrary revocation.
