Calcutta HC Quashes Rejection of Candidature in IOCL’s Selection Process Due to Alleged Tax Dues

The Calcutta High Court quashed the rejection of a candidate’s application for a position at IOC due to alleged tax dues. The candidate had been disqualified during the selection process on the grounds of unpaid tax liabilities. However, the court ruled that the tax dues were not substantiated properly and that the disqualification was unjustified. The decision reinstates the importance of transparent procedures in public sector recruitments and highlights that applicants should not be penalized based on unfounded claims or discrepancies related to tax liabilities.
