It states that in the OTA, late induction can be approved only for a period of three weeks. In the present matter the time for issuing a joining letter was not available.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0It is settled law that successful candidates, even if there is vacancy, do not acquire any indefensible right to be appointed; their only right is to be considered for appointment, though at the same time the appointment cannot be denied arbitrarily and whimsically (Refer: <em>State of Haryana v Subhash Chander Marwaha<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/BE3KjThu\">(1974) 3 SCC 220<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lastly, the High Court held that the plea of the petitioner that he be allowed to join the training to the next course could not be accepted as the respondents explained that there was no procedure of carrying forward of a vacancy to the next course.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In view of the above, present petition was dismissed.[Sanskar Sharma v.
