"Recruitment Rejection: Delhi High Court Highlights Importance of Transparent Communication in Selection Processes"

➡️In this *Case the petitioner, Sandeep Kumar Singh, participated in a recruitment rally at the 3 EME Centre, Bhopal, in January 2018 for the post of Soldier (GD). Despite scoring above the cutoff marks and fulfilling other criteria, his candidature was rejected on the grounds that he failed in the written examination and did not meet the merit list requirements for his State.

➡️ The Primary legal issue in this case was whether the petitioner, who scored above the cutoff marks but was assigned a lower recruitment priority (Priority V), was wrongly denied an appointment based on miscommunication and incorrect grounds provided by the respondents.

➡️ The Petitioner Sandeep Kumar asserted that the rejection was based on incorrect grounds, as clarified through RTI responses, which revealed he scored above the cutoff marks.

→ The petitioner contended that the recruitment process conducted under All India All Caste (AIAC) vacancies should not have imposed state-specific merit list restrictions.

➡️ The Respondent State Claimed that the recruitment process prioritized candidates based on specific categories, with the petitioner categorized as Priority V due to his father being an ex-serviceman from a different regiment (Regiments of Guards, not EME).

→ Respondent State submitted that the automated software (e-DMASS) ensured the integrity of the selection process.

➡️ The Delhi High Court expressed

→ Dismay over the respondents' failure to communicate the true reasons for the petitioner’s non-selection, noting that such miscommunication led to unnecessary litigation. → The Court recognized that the petitioner fell under the lowest priority category (Priority V) and did not meet the merit for appointment based on the recruitment notification's terms despite scoring above the cutoff.

➡️ The petition was dismissed, with no relief granted to the petitioner.

→ The recruitment notification clearly specified a priority-based selection system, with Priority V candidates being considered only after fulfilling higher-priority vacancies.

→ The petitioner’s claim of exceeding the cutoff marks was insufficient since his lower priority status rendered him ineligible for selection under the prescribed rules.
