The Court has also emphasized that persons who secure appointments through false qualifications do so unlawfully and their appointments can be canceled Ganesh Rambhau Khalale VS State of Maharashtra - Bombay.

Analysis and Conclusion:
Appointments based on fake or tampered degrees are legally invalid and subject to cancellation. Courts uphold the principle that fraud nullifies the legitimacy of such appointments, emphasizing the importance of verifying educational credentials thoroughly before appointment. Where fraud is established, authorities are justified in canceling appointments and removing ineligible candidates to maintain integrity in recruitment processes.
