Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh): The Allahabad High Court has said that no one can take advantage of his own mistake. If someone has taken salary by taking a job appointment by fraud and connivance, then it should be returned. Otherwise, it will be a wrong way to become wealthy. The court said that the job seeker can't seek justice under Article 226 against the recovery of salary from forged certificates. Such recovery action can't even be called arbitrary.

This order was given by a division bench of Justice SP Kesarwani and Justice RN Tilhari while dismissing the petition of Malti Devi. The petitioner got the appointment through a fake TET certificate.
