casestatus.in Summary
An appointment secured through a fraudulent caste certificate is void ab initio, as fraud vitiates everything — no leniency or equitable relief can be extended to such an appointee, even by courts exercising writ jurisdiction. As analysed on casestatus.in, a High Court cannot grant relief on grounds of sympathy when the foundational appointment itself is tainted by fraud, and the termination of such an employee is legally sustainable.
