Dagadu Sakharam Talule and Others v. the State of Maharashtra through Its Principal Secretary and Others
Case brief
What is this about?
The Court held that systemic irregularities and gross illegalities vitiated the entire recruitment process, making segregation of candidates impossible. Consequently, the process was cancelled en bloc. The petitions of selected candidates seeking appointment orders were dismissed as no vested right exists after cancellation. The management was directed to pay costs of Rs. 1,00,000. All writ petitions were dismissed or disposed of, and the request for ad interim relief was rejected.
