HC allows TNPSC candidate to attend interview

MADURAI, MAY 14, 2019 00:00 IST

His application was rejected for entering wrong date of birth

The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court allowed a candidate, whose application was rejected for entering wrong date of birth, to attend interview for the post of Horticulture Officer. The court considered the fact that the error was inadvertent and the candidate had cleared his written examination.

The petitioner, M. Sundaramahalingam, sought a direction to rectify the error in the online application form. It was during certificate verification that his candidature was rejected after it was ascertained that he had wrongly entered his date of birth. Unable to attend the interview, despite clearing the examination, he sought a direction to rectify the error and consider him for the post.

During the course of hearing, it was submitted that if false or erroneous particulars were entered in the application, the application was liable to be rejected as per the instructions given to candidates.

Justice G.R. Swaminathan directed the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission to permit the petitioner to attend the interview.
