Denying Govt Appointment Solely Due To Pending Criminal Case Not Involving Moral Turpitude Is Unjust And Arbitrary: Rajasthan HC

The Rajasthan High Court ruled that a candidate cannot be denied government employment solely on the grounds of a pending criminal case unless the charges are of serious nature. The court emphasized that mere pendency of a case does not justify rejection, and each case must be assessed on its merits. This ruling protects the rights of individuals facing criminal allegations from being unjustly excluded from employment opportunities, ensuring that decisions are made based on the nature and gravity of the charges.
