RBE No.192/2019: Selection – Cancellation after Declaration of Result

No.E(NG)I/2019/PM4/13, dated 11.11.2019

Sub: Cancellation of selection after declaration of result – Due notice to be given to candidates declared selected.

Instances have been brought to the notice of Railway Board, where selection proceedings have been cancelled by the competent authority on the Railways after declaration of the results of selection due to irregularities/ malpractices being detected in the selection subsequently. In some of these cases, it has been noticed that the Courts have taken exception to such practices and passed adverse judgment due to notice not being served to the selected candidates prior to issue of the cancellation orders.
As the existing rules/ instructions on the subject are silent on this issue, it has been decided by the Board that whenever selection proceedings are required to be cancelled after declaration of result due to procedural irregularities/ malpractices, due notice should be given to the candidates declared selected.
The Indian Railway Establishment Manual, 1989 – Vol-I is accordingly amended as per ACS No.269 enclosed herewith.
