indiaUpdated: Jan 25, 2020 09:28 ISTBombay High Court has refused to interfere with the Maharashtra government’s decision to stop making provisional appointments on posts reserved for backward category candidates and confirming the appointments on the production of caste validity certificate. The clause required candidates to submit their caste validity certificates along with their applications. It requires employers to forward caste certificate of their employees to the scrutiny committee for verification and issuance of validity certificate. The bench said nobody had any right of being considered for selection and appointment to posts reserved for backward class categories unless eligibility for such claim was established. Selection and appointment on provisional basis subject to production of caste validity certificate, was transitory and now the practice prevailing has been brought to an end after about a period of nineteen years of bringing into force of the said act, it said further.
