Secretary, Jaipur Development ... vs Daulat Mal Jain on 20 September, 1996
7.6) That it is also wrong to say that the representation was
decided without availability of record. The reason for availability of basic
data despite the fact that physical record pertaining to this examination,
i.e. dossier of non-selected candidates being weeded out, is that the
copy of application containing basic data filled by the candidate in
his/her application submitted in the exam is still available in electronic
form with data processing agency of the Commission. Further, the result
of this exam is also available on the website of the Commission. Hence
all required date is available in electronic form.
7.7) That even if some mistake is committed and someone who
is not meritorious is erroneously accorded appointment, the appropriate
step would be to remove such candidate, rather than perpetuating such
illegality. It is a settled position of law that illegality cannot be
perpetuated. Reliance in this regard can be placed on Apex Court
judgments of Secretary, Jaipur Development Authority, Jaipur vs.
Daulat Mal Jain and Ors.: (1997) 1 SCC 35, Basawaraj and Ors.
