3151 of 2018) filed by the respective writ petitioners/appellants whereby the decision of the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC)/Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) treating the candidature of the writ petitioners/appellants under general category, has not been interfered on the ground that they failed to adhere to the conditions as stipulated in the respective advertisements and consequently their writ petitions have been dismissed. 2. Initially, the present batch of Letters Patent Appeals as well as other Letters Patent Appeals were placed before a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court and vide order dated 02. 03. 2023, the Bench observed that in an almost similar fact-situation, there were conflicting views of different Division Benches of this court as in some cases, the ratio laid down in the case of Ram Kumar Gijroya Vs.

Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board & Another reported in (2016) 4 SCC 754 had been followed, whereas in some other cases, it had been distinguished/not relied upon. The Bench thereafter referred the said cases to the larger Bench for determination of the following issues: - A. Whether “Ram Kumar Gijroya” must be applied in every case irrespective of the facts of the case, provided the caste certificate is produced at the time of verification of the documents? B. Whether Clause 9(gha) in the Advertisement No. 2 of 2016 and a similar stipulation in the other advertisements run contrary to the Constitutional mandate under Articles 14, 16 and 335 of the Constitution of India? C.

Whether providing a condition in the advertisement that the caste certificate in the proper format should be in possession of the candidate on the last date for making the application failing which his/her candidature shall be considered under unreserved category is an exercise of excessive delegation of power and/or beyond the powers conferred upon the Commission? 3. Subsequently, L. P. A. No. 50 of 2020 was de-tagged and L. P. A. No. 118 of 2020 was disposed of by passing a separate order. Thereafter, the remaining cases (i. e. , the present batch of appeals) were placed before the Full Bench of this Court and the said Bench answered the issues referred to it vide order dated 15. 09. 2025 passed in the case of Dr. Nutan Indwar @ Nutan Indwar Vs. State of Jharkhand & Ors. reported in 2025 SCC OnLine Jhar.

3189 directing that the present batch of appeals be placed before the appropriate Bench for deciding the same on merit keeping in view the observation made by the said Bench on the issues referred to it. Pursuant to the said direction, these appeals have been placed before this Court. 4. Heard learned counsel for the parties at length and perused the materials available on record. 5. Mr. Krishna Murari, learned counsel for the appellant of L. P. A. No. 64 of 2020 namely Dr. Nutan Indwar @ Nutan Indwar, submits that the said appellant was in possession of her caste certificates issued in the prescribed formats of the State Government as well as the Central Government from much before the cut-off date of submission of online application form, however she inadvertently mentioned the particulars of the caste certificate issued in the prescribed format of the Central Government while uploading her application. 6.

It is further submitted that the said appellant rectified her mistake and submitted the caste certificate issued in the prescribed format as mandated under Clause-9(gha) of the Advertisement No. 02/2016 during the documents verification, however the same was not accepted by the JPSC and her candidature was treated under “General Category”. Resultantly, she was not selected for the advertised post despite the fact that she had scored more marks than the cut-off marks i. e. , the marks obtained by the last selected candidate under the “Scheduled Tribe” category. 7. It is also submitted that pursuant to publication of the final result, out of 44 vacancies notified for the “Scheduled Tribe” category, only 8 candidates were declared successful and thereby 36 posts remained vacant.

The present appellant is the only left out candidate who has secured marks more than the cut-off marks and thus, the action of the Commission in denying appointment to the present appellant is patently arbitrary and illegal. 8. It is further submitted that no prejudice will be caused to any other unsuccessful candidate by providing appointment to the appellant who was in possession of the caste certificate in the prescribed format of the State Government prior to the last date of submission of the online application form. 9. It is contended by learned counsel for the said appellant that the appellant was called for interview by the Commission under “Scheduled Tribe” category only on confirming her undisputed status under the said category. Since she had obtained lesser marks than the cut-off marks of last selected candidate under the “General Category” in written examination, it cannot be assumed that she was called for interview as a “general category” candidate.

As such, at the time of declaring the final result, the Commission was wrong in treating the appellant under “General Category” depriving her of getting the appointment. 10. Mr. Krishna Murari places reliance on the judgment rendered by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Ram Kumar Gijroya (supra. ) and submits that once the categorization in a particular category is not disputed, mere inability to submit the prescribed caste certificate till the cut-off date should not operate as prejudice to the candidate. Even otherwise, the delayed submission should not affect the category-wise selection process as there is no rationale for insisting to produce the prescribed caste certificate till the cut-off date. 11. Mr. Krishna Murari also puts reliance on the judgment rendered by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Charles K. Skaria and Others Vs. Dr. C.

Mathew and Others reported in (1980) 2 SCC 752 and submits that possession of a caste certificate in the prescribed format was sufficient for claiming benefit of reservation. 12. Mr. Manoj Tandon, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellants of L. P. A. Nos. 77 of 2020 and 133 of 2020, submits that the JPSC/JSSC have breached the law laid down by the Full Bench of this Court in the order dated 15. 09. 2025 by appointing few candidates who were similarly situated to the said appellants and thus they deserve the similar relief as granted to the said candidates. 13. It is further submitted that admittedly the appellants belong to the reserved category but they have been treated under “General Category” in a most arbitrary manner. The appellants had submitted their caste certificates in the prescribed format prior to finalization of the process of recruitment, however the respondents arbitrarily did not take into consideration the said caste certificates produced by them. 14.

It is also submitted that in the case of Ram Kumar Gijroya (Supra. ), the Hon’ble Supreme Court has held that delay in submission of caste certificate by a reserved category candidate would not oust his/her candidature for appointment. 15. Mr. Ajit Kumar, learned senior counsel, assisted by Mr. Shresth Gautam, appearing on behalf of some of the appellants, submits that under similar situation, some candidates were given relaxation of submitting the caste certificates at subsequent stage by the JPSC, whereas it acted arbitrarily in the cases of the appellants by not giving them the same relaxation. 16. In response to the above contentions, Mr. Sanjay Piprawal, learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondents- JPSC/JSSC, submits that the appellants had failed to strictly adhere to the terms and conditions of the advertisements fixed for claiming reservation and as such their candidatures were considered under “General Category”. 17.

It is further submitted that the Hon’ble Supreme Court as well the different Division Benches of this Court have consistently held that the candidates are obliged to strictly follow the terms and conditions of the advertisement, failing which they would not be able to get the benefit of reservation. 18. It is also submitted that admittedly in the online application forms, the appellants had not filled the particulars of the caste certificates obtained in the prescribed format, rather the same were subsequently produced either at the time of document verification or after issuance of the show cause notices. 19. It is further submitted that the Full bench of this Court in the order dated 15. 09. 2025, has upheld the constitutional validity of Clause 9 (gha) of Advertisement No.

02 of 2016 and similar stipulations in the other advertisements, which clearly provide that each candidate who is the resident of Jharkhand State and belongs to SC/ST/BC-I/BC-II category, has to fill the particulars of his/her caste certificate issued by the Deputy Commissioner/Sub-Divisional Officer in the prescribed format in the online application form, otherwise they will be treated under “general category”. 20. Mr. Piprawal contends that the case of Ram Kumar Gijroya (Supra. ) which has been heavily relied upon by the learned counsels for the appellants, has been distinguished in facts by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in several subsequent judgments and as such the said judgment will not help the case of the appellants. 21. We have gone through the judgment of Ram Kumar Gijroya (Supra. ).

The fact of the said case was that the appellant was not selected for the advertised post on the ground that he had failed to submit the OBC certificate issued by the appropriate authority along with the application form before the last date of submission of the same. Moreover, the requirement of submitting the OBC certificate before the cut-off date of the application was introduced by the respondent-Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board only while declaring the result on 15. 12. 2008. In the said case, Their Lordships considered the judgment of learned Single Judge of Delhi High Court rendered in the case of Pushpa vs. Govt. , NCT of Delhi & Others reported in 2009 SCC OnLine Del 281 and held that the same was in conformity with the proposition of law laid down in the case of Indra Sawhney & Others vs. Union of India & Others reported in 1992 Supp (3) SCC 217 and Valsamma Paul (Mrs. ) vs. Cochin University & Others reported in (1996) 3 SCC 545.

It was further held that the Division Bench of Delhi High Court had erred in reversing the judgment and order passed by the learned Single Judge without noticing the binding precedent of Indra Sawhney (Supra. ) and Valsamma Paul (Supra. ) wherein after interpretation of Articles 14, 15, 16 as well as 39-A of the Constitution of India pertaining to the Directive Principles of the State policy, it was held that the object of providing reservation to the SCs/STs and educationally/socially backward classes of the society is to remove inequality in public employment, as the candidates belonging to these categories are unable to compete with the candidates belonging to the general category on account of facing centuries of oppression and deprivation of opportunity.

The constitutional concept of reservation envisaged in the Preamble of the Constitution and Articles 14, 15, 16 as well as 39-A of the Directive Principles of the State policy is to achieve the purpose of giving equal opportunity to all sections of the society. 22. In the case of Karn Singh Yadav Vs. Government of NCT of Delhi and Others reported in (2024) 2 SCC 716, the judgments of Ram Kumar Gijroya (Supra. ) and Pushpa (supra. ) came to be considered by the Hon’ble Supreme Court and their Lordships referred the matter to the Larger Bench of three judges for reconsideration of the issue fell in the case of Ram Kumar Gijroya (supra. ) by observing that the judgment of Pushpa (supra.

) was passed under a peculiar circumstance where the fact was that the office of the competent authority took considerable time to make the required OBC certificate available despite the applicant having filed an application before the concerned Sub- Divisional Officer for obtaining the same much prior to the date of issuance of the advertisement, for which the applicant could not be made to suffer. It was further held that in the course of recruitment process, many persons, though belonging to the OBC category or SC/ST category, might not have obtained the required caste certificate before the cut-off date. Such persons, being law abiding and conscious of the bar contained in the notification of the cut-off date, might not have applied seeking employment. In case, the authority starts accepting caste certificates subsequent to the prescribed cut-off dates whenever a candidate approaches it, the remaining candidates who had not applied, would definitely be affected.

If the applicants are allowed to submit certificates in proof of their claim of reservation subsequent to the notified cut-off date, it would create an administrative chaos. 23. However, when the said case was placed before the Larger Bench of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, Their Lordships did not delve into the issues raised in Karn Singh Yadav (supra. ) (decided by two Judges Bench) and disposed of the said case vide judgment rendered in Karn Singh Yadav vs. Government of NCT of Delhi & Others reported in (2024) 2 SCC 588 (decided by three Judges Bench) observing that the fact and situation of the said case was identical to the case of Ram Kumar Gijroya (supra. ). 24. The judgments of Ram Kumar Gijroya (supra. ) as well as Karn Singh Yadav (supra. ) (two Judges Bench) and Karn Singh Yadav (supra. ) (three Judges Bench) were also considered in the case of Divya Vs. Union of India & Others reported in (2024) 1 SCC 448.

Their Lordships distinguished the fact of that case with that of Ram Kumar Gijroya (Supra. ) and observed that in the case of Ram Kumar Gijroya (Supra. ) there was no rule regarding requirement of submitting the OBC certificate before the cut-off date, rather the same was introduced by the selection authority at the time of declaring the result. It was further observed that in the case of Ram Kumar Gijroya (Supra. ), there was no contention or issue raised that the eligibility enured or crystallized only on issuance of the certificate and on possession of the certificate before the prescribed cut-off date. In the said case, Their Lordships went on to observe that the judgment of Ram Kumar Gijroya (Supra. ) was also directly in conflict with the judgment of Three Judges Bench of the Hon’ble Supreme Court rendered in the case of Ashok Kumar Sharma & Others Vs.

Chander Shekhar & Another reported in (1997) 4 SCC 18 and thus the ratio laid down in the judgment of the three judges’ Bench in the case of Ashok Kumar Sharma (Supra. ) is bound to be followed. 25. Again, in the case of Sakshi Arha Vs. The Rajasthan High Court and Others reported in 2025 SCC OnLine SC 757 the Hon’ble Supreme Court distinguished the judgment of Ram Kumar Gijroya (Supra. ) from the fact of that case observing as under: - “38. Significant reliance is placed by the Appellants on the 2-Judge Bench decision of this Court in Ram Kumar Gijroya (supra). A perusal of the decision rendered by the High Court of Delhi on the factual matrix therein is evidently distinct. The same, thus, cannot come to the rescue of the Appellants. In the instant case, it is not a contention of Appellants that they are missing a valid proof of attainment of their particular qualification or right.

No candidate before us has a claim that they, to begin with, already availed and established their eligibility, or had applied for a NCL category certificate and issuance of the same is delayed at the behest of the competent authority. The ratio, therefore, in the relied judgment would not apply. ” 26. The Full Bench of this Court also decided the issue ‘A’ in the judgment dated 15. 09. 2025 by observing that the ratio laid down in the case of Ram Kumar Gijroya (supra) is not applicable in every case irrespective of the facts. It also cannot be applied if the caste certificate is not produced on or before the cut-off date as prescribed either by the rules governing the employment or by the advertisement. In case, rules and advertisement are silent about the cut-off date, then the eligibility will be judged on the last date of submission of the application forms. 27. In the aforesaid judgment, one of us (Rajesh Shankar, J) has observed in concurring part as under: - “67.

It may be construed from the aforesaid judicial pronouncements that the judgment of Ram Kumar Gijroya (Supra. ) was delivered in the peculiar fact and circumstance of the said case where the cut-off date for submitting OBC certificate was not given in the advertisement, rather the same was introduced by the respondent-Delhi Sub-ordinate Services Selection Board only while declaring the result. The judgment of Pushpa (Supra. ) which was strongly relied upon by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Ram Kumar Gijroya (Supra. ) was also delivered in the circumstance where the applicant had moved an application for obtaining OBC certificate much prior to the date of issuance of the advertisement, however, the office of the competent authority took considerable time to make the required OBC certificate available. The judgment of Ram Kumar Gijroya (Supra. ) was factually distinguished by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the judgment rendered in the cases of Divya (Supra. ) and Sakshi Arya (Supra. ). ” 28.

Now, the question falls for consideration of this Court is whether the facts and circumstance of the present batch of appeals are similar to the case of Ram Kumar Gijroya (supra. ) so as to entitle the appellants for any relief by this Court in view of the law laid down in the said judgment or was there any cut-off date fixed in the advertisements in question for obtaining caste certificates in the prescribed format which the appellants were required to strictly follow. 29. The present matters relate to altogether six advertisements issued by the JPSC/JSSC and as such for better appreciation of the cases of the parties, it seems appropriate to inter alia refer the relevant provisions of the said advertisements as well as the respective claims of the parties. 30. Advertisement No. 2 of 2016 was issued by the JPSC for appointment to the post of Dentist (Basic Cadre) and the last date of submission of the online application forms by the interested candidates was fixed as 29. 02.

2016, which was subsequently extended upto 15. 03. 2016. 31. The relevant clauses for the said advertisement are quoted hereinbelow for the ready reference in the present case:- Clause-9 आरक्षण -: (क).

A No. 114 of 2020 and L. P. A No. 117 of 2020 filled up their respective online application forms for the said advertised post.

The interview of the said examination was conducted on 09. 03. 2018 and the recommendation for appointment of the successful candidates was made to the state government on 17. 05. 2018. The appellants of the said cases were treated as “general category” candidates and were declared unsuccessful since they secured lesser marks than those of the last selected candidates under the “general category”. 33.
