Court Rejects Candidate's Plea Over Application Error
A lawyer named Pradeep applied to be a judge but accidentally said he had more than one wife.
The court said he made the mistake himself, and they couldn't change his form.
Even though Pradeep argued that he only has one wife, the court told him to prove it.
They said it's very important to be careful when filling out applications for jobs because mistakes can cause big problems.
A judiciary candidate's plea was rejected by the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
The candidate mistakenly indicated he had multiple spouses on his application form.
The notification stated candidates with multiple spouses are ineligible.
The court said the candidate was responsible for the mistake.
The court emphasized the need for accuracy in competitive exams.
