What is the ruling on receiving financial compensation for salaries and benefits for those whose appointment to a government position was rejected despite their competence and eligibility, if they win the case, taking into consideration the varying levels of competence among the plaintiffs?

Compensation is for damages, so the contestant may take it if their right to benefit from the position was forfeited due to their eligibility for appointment, provided they are qualified for the position and deserving of it according to the specified criteria.

As for someone who is genuinely qualified but not according to the criteria, they may join the position but are not entitled to compensation because they were not eligible for selection.

And whoever is not qualified for the position at all is not permitted to accept appointment or compensation.
