#JammuandkashmirandladakhHighCourt

The petitioner was selected for the 30th batch of assistant commandants in 1996, but his appointment was delayed due to late police verification, the Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court noted.

The court held that mere subsequent failure on the part of the petitioner to adhere to the terms of the settlement cannot be a ground to invalidate otherwise lawful and binding Lok Adalat award.
