Allahabad HC: Waiting List No Job Guarantee, Not Indefinite

• Allahabad High Court ruled that inclusion in a waiting list does not guarantee appointment.
• The court clarified that waiting lists or selection processes cannot be kept pending indefinitely.
• Justice Saurabh Shyam Shamshery dismissed a petition by Nitish Maurya and others regarding LT Grade Assistant Teacher posts.
• Petitioners were initially not on merit or waiting lists for Uttar Pradesh Secondary Education Services Selection Board posts.
• A previous court directive led to a process for filling vacant posts, but a subsequent order confirmed no modification to the original waiting list was needed, which the HC upheld.

Why It Matters: Allahabad High Court states waiting list does not guarantee a job and has a limited validity.
