SMS Intimation To Candidate’s Mobile Number Sufficient Communication For Selection Process
Case: State of Uttar Pradesh and Ors v Pankaj Kumar
Coram: Justices DY Chandrachud and AS Bopanna
Case No.: Civil Appeal No. 6860 Of 2021
Court Observation: “When a requirement is stated in the application to provide the mobile number, it is with a purpose to communicate and in the instant case, the appellants have sent the SMS to the very number which had been furnished by the appellant,”
“Further, the argument as put forth by the learned counsel for the respondent that one may not retain the same number after lapse of long time would hold good even for the address which is furnished for the issue of postal communication. In a given case, the person may not reside in the same address which is furnished for communication as it existed when the application was made,”
“When there can be no dispute that the respondent was in possession of the same mobile connection, the detail of which was furnished in the application and the SMS had been sent to the respondent, the respondent having not acted on the same cannot at his own convenience make request to be permitted to participate in the selection process which has already concluded, not having utilized the opportunity which was available to him,”
