RAM KUMAR GIJROYA vs DELHI SUB. SERVICES SELECTION BD.

The Supreme Court addressed the eligibility of candidates under the O.B.C. category who submit their certificates after the deadline specified in the advertisement. The Court held that such candidates are not eligible for selection, affirming the decision of the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) to exclude the appellant for not submitting the O.B.C. certificate in time. The judgment clarified that adherence to the application requirements is essential for eligibility, thus upholding the High Court's ruling that set aside the earlier favorable judgment for the appellant.
