Late submission of document to avail reservation

????Whether late submission of a certificate to avail benitlfit of reservation in anybcategory is a ground for rejection of candidature in that category? ???????????? ?? For example, you have applied for Munsif exam as rural candidate and you passed premiums as well as mains and you were called for verification of documents on 20/03/2017 to avail reservation under category of Rural candidate. However, you were not able to produce the certificate showing that you studied in the rural on that day. Reason is- thought you applied for it, you were not able to abtain it on or before 20/03/2017. However, making hectic effort you were able to get it on 22/03/2017 and immediately rushed to the appointing authority and submitted the said certificate on 23/03/2017. But the appointing authority did not consider the said certificate on the ground of late submission and you were treated as Candidate of General category, and was appointed since your rank was low. ???? Now the question is- whether the appointing authority is justified in doing so? ???? Is late submission of the certificate a ground to reject candidature ?
