EXECUTIVE ENGINEER, JIHE KATAHAPUR LIFT IRRIGATION, SATARA vs SANJAY VISHWASRAO JADHAV AND ORS. — C.A. No. 5906/2019

Case Summary The Supreme Court allowed the appeal filed by the Executive Engineer against Respondent Sanjay Vishwasrao Jadhav, who was appointed as Assistant Storekeeper in 1999 based on a fraudulent Scheduled Tribe caste certificate. After a Caste Scrutiny Committee found him ineligible, he was terminated in 2010; the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal upheld the termination. The High Court had granted relief to Jadhav, but the Supreme Court reversed this decision on July 26, 2019, holding that fraud vitiates the appointment and no leniency can be shown, thereby setting aside the High Court's order with no order as to costs.
