Aspirant Must Track Recruitment Updates Independently: MP High Court

The Madhya Pradesh High Court held that candidates participating in recruitment processes are solely responsible for regularly monitoring the official website for updates and instructions.

The Court observed that failure to submit documents within prescribed timelines cannot be excused on personal or medical grounds. It dismissed the plea of an Assistant Professor aspirant whose candidature was cancelled for delayed document submission. 

The Court observed that recruitment advertisements create binding statutory obligations on candidates. It further held that timelines mentioned in advertisements are sacrosanct and not subject to judicial relaxation. 

The Commission, once deadlines expire, becomes functus officio regarding such candidature.
