Prahlad Paswan v. The State Of Bihar and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
The Patna High Court dismissed the petitioner’s writ petition challenging the Tribunal’s order upholding his appointment. The Court held the petitioner was bound by a prior judgment declaring his appointment illegal. Relying on evidence of tampered documents regarding another candidate’s exclusion, the Court quashed the Tribunal’s defense and directed the petitioner's removal.
What did the court decide?
The writ application is dismissed; the impugned order for appointment of Respondent No. 11 is to be complied with, and the Petitioner is to be removed from service forthwith if still in posts.
