    Case Summary: WP/2553/2025 Court Decision: The Bombay High Court, Nagpur Bench dismissed the writ petition, upholding the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal's rejection of the petitioner's candidacy for the Assistant Store Keeper position reserved for Project Affected Persons (PAP). The court held that eligibility must be acquired on or before the application deadline and cannot be satisfied by documents obtained thereafter. Key Reasoning: The petitioner lacked a valid PAP certificate in his name at application submission (01/2024) and document verification (01/2024); he only received his own PAP certificate on 09/02/2024, after the merit list publication. Additionally, the certificate initially submitted belonged to his father, which does not confer eligibility to the petitioner. The court established that recruitment advertisement requirements are inflexible and must be satisfied on the prescribed date to prevent fraud on public employment principles.
