‘Tainted’ List Published on Supreme Court’s Order

There was widespread curiosity among job seekers about this list ever since the Supreme Court’s verdict on job cancellations.

According to Commission sources, this list contains a total of 3,512 names who were found to have discrepancies in their recruitment and were marked as ”Tainted’.
