Wbpsc Appointment And Expire/Cancellation Of Panel


06-Jul-2026 (In Civil Law)
I was selected for the post of Junior Engineer (Civil) under WBPSC Advertisement No. 09/2022. The final result was declared on 25 June 2025. I completed document verification and submitted the Police Verification Roll (PVR) in August 2025. My appointment process was pending because the Police Verification Report was not forwarded to the department due to a pending criminal case arising from a family dispute. The department's procedure is PVR → Medical Examination → Appointment Letter. Since the PVR never reached the department, my medical examination and appointment were not processed. I have now learned that the WBPSC panel has expired after one year. Can my candidature still be treated as alive, or has it lapsed automatically?

Dear Client, Until and unless a person is held accused and convicted by a Court of Law, a pending criminal suit cannot be a cause of his deprivation of any privilege that may be deemed a violation of his fundamental right to life as enshrined under Article 21 of the Constitution of India. So, in the stated scenario, most viable option to access justice is to file a Writ petition (writ of mandamus) before the Hon'ble High Court under Article 226(2) of the Constitution seeking appropriate direction and relief in the matter.
