6. Learned advocates represe
The court upheld the designation of petitioners as tainted candidates based on previously established criteria, affirming dismissal of their writ petitions.
The classification of candidates as tainted extends beyond previously defined categories, and judicial intervention is precluded by ongoing Supreme Court considerations.
Tainted candidates are barred from participating in the recruitment process according to the Supreme Court's directives on fraudulent appointments and adherence to prior recruitment rules.
Writ petitions are not maintainable if earlier judgments have merged with a subsequent Supreme Court ruling, emphasizing compliance responsibility falls under higher authority.
Tainted candidates from previous fraudulent selections cannot be allowed in fresh recruitment processes, as it breaches fundamental justice and undermines public trust in educational integrity.
Court affirms the right of untainted candidates to participate in the counseling process for teaching positions, despite previous absences, ensuring no dilution of merit.
