False Credentials Void Public Appointment Ab Initio | Notional Seniority & Appointment Mandated Despite Administrative Delay : Madras HC
Madras High Court rules that submission of false credentials in public employment renders the selection void from inception. Aggrieved candidates are entitled to notional appointment and seniority fixation from the original selection date, even without monetary benefits, if the delay stems from administrative inaction. The judgment reinforces that public employment integrity prevails over procedural lapses.
