Quick Summary: S. Amaravathi's appointment as a Mini Anganwadi Worker was canceled because she didn't disclose her husband's job. The court supported the cancellation.
S. Amaravathi was hired as a Mini Anganwadi Worker on August 13, 2018. Her hiring letter included a rule that if her husband had a certain type of job, it might affect her employment.
"Even before starting the job, S. Amaravathi chose not to share important information about her husband’s job."
In her application, S. Amaravathi answered 'No' to whether her husband worked for the government. However, she attached a certificate showing he worked as a Village Thalayari. This mismatch led to her job being canceled on August 17, 2018.
S. Amaravathi argued that she did provide the necessary certificate and that the rule was unfair under certain parts of the Constitution. But the court found that the main problem was her giving incorrect information.
"It’s clear that when information is hidden or wrong information is given, the hiring authority has the right to cancel the job offer..."
Justice Dr. A.D. Maria Clete rejected S. Amaravathi's request. The court noted that the wrong information in the application was a valid reason to cancel her job.
The court decided that because S. Amaravathi provided false information about her husband's job, it was justified to cancel her appointment as a Mini Anganwadi Worker.
