ORDER

Hon’ble Mr. Manish Garg, Member (J) :

1.Highlighting the facts of the case, learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the present Original Application has been filed challenging the arbitrary and illegal cancellation of the applicant’s candidature/appointment as Craft Instructor (Welder) vide order dated 29.08.2025, despite the applicant having been duly selected after due scrutiny by the competent committee and having already accepted the offer of appointment on 27.11.2024.

1.1. Learned counsel contended that the impugned “Deficiency Memorandum” dated 05.06.2025 is wholly unsustainable as the applicant was held eligible under the PwD category as per the recruitment process, the governing DGT instructions, and the applicable statutory framework under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016.

1.2. Learned counsel argued that Multiple Disability (MD) was wrongly treated as ineligible for the post of Welder despite the applicant’s appointment already being processed and accepted, and the subsequent cancellation is arbitrary, discriminatory, and violative of Articles 14, 16, 21 and 311 of the Constitution, as well as settled principles of natural justice.

1.3. Concludi
