- Any candidate found seeking outside influence, through staff or non-staff, to canvass for their candidature becomes ineligible for appointment.
- If information provided in the application is found false at any stage of scrutiny or after appointment, or if eligibility criteria are not met, or genuine documents are found tampered with, the candidature (or appointment, if already made) will be cancelled; furnishing incorrect or concealed information may also attract criminal liability.
