Reservation Category Inadvertent Error Without Benefit Availed | Candidature Cannot Be Cancelled : Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court ruled that a candidate's inadvertent selection of an incorrect reservation category, without availing any benefit under it, does not justify cancellation of candidature. This protects applicants from punitive consequences for clerical mistakes when they remain eligible under their true category, reinforcing procedural fairness in public recruitment.
