#appointment rights

The Punjab & Haryana High Court held that cancellation of a recruitment process extinguishes any claim by waitlisted candidates, even if vacancies arise within the validity period. Documentary proof of pay scale eligibility remains mandatory, reinforcing that no vested right accrues to waitlisted candidates in public employment.

Delhi High Court rules that recruitment waiting lists expire as per advertisement terms, and no appointment rights persist post-expiry-even if vacancies arise due to administrative delays. The judgment reinforces strict adherence to recruitment timelines, impacting candidates and government recruitment bodies.

The Central Administrative Tribunal holds that a waiting list cannot be revived after a selected candidate joins and later resigns, affirming finality in recruitment processes.
