The J&K administration has withdrawn the appointment of a junior engineer after discovering that the candidate submitted a forged RBA qualification certificate.
The Jammu and Kashmir government has annulled the appointment of a junior engineer after an internal verification revealed that the candidate’s RBA (Regional Board of Apprentices) certificate was falsified. The decision was taken by the state’s recruitment authority, which flagged the discrepancy during the standard background check process.
According to officials, the fake certificate was identified when the candidate’s educational documents were cross‑checked with the issuing body. Upon confirmation of the forgery, the government issued an order to cancel the appointment and to inform the applicant of the action taken.
The move underscores the administration’s commitment to maintaining integrity in public service recruitment and serves as a warning to other aspirants about the consequences of submitting fraudulent credentials. No further legal action has been disclosed at this stage.
