IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LETTERS PATENT APPEAL No.48 of 2011 IN CWJC No. 9884 of 2010 ============================================== Arvind Kumar - Appellant (s) Versus The Union of India & Ors. - Respondent(s) ============================================== Appearance: For the Appellant : Mr. Dr. Om Prakash Om For the Respondent: Mr. K.D. Chatterjee Mr. Amlesh Kumar Verma ============================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE JYOTI SARAN ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) 03. 15.03.2011 This Appeal under Clause 10 of the Letters Patent is preferred by the writ petitioner against the judgment and order dated 2nd December 2010 passed by the learned Single Judge in above C.W.J.C. No. 9884 of 2010. In answer to the advertisement issued by the respondent Indian Oil Corporation Limited (hereinafter referred to as the „Corporation‟), the petitioner had applied for allotment of Kisan Seva Kendra Operatorship at Gajipur Chandpura Road, Desari, District-Vaishali. Upon scrutiny of his application and the credentials, the appellant was awarded 12 marks under the head “liquid cash” and was placed at Sl. No. 1. After the field investigation was made by the Corporation the information submitted by the appellant in respect of “Liquid cash” was found to be false. Though, on the date of application he had a balance 2 of Rs. 470.64, in the application he had entered Rs. 7,50,670.64. As a result, the 12 marks awarded under the head “Liquid cash” were cancelled. On cancellation of the said 12 marks, the petitioner lost his first position. He was, therefore, not awarded the Operatorship. Feeling aggrieved, the appellant filed above C.W.J.C. No. 9884 of 2010. The writ petition has been rejected by the learned Single Judge. Therefore, the present Appeal. Records are before us. It is not in dispute that the appellant had made application on 17th September 2007. On that date there was a balance of Rs. 470.64 in his bank account. Nevertheless, he mentioned a sum of Rs. 7,50,670.64 in his application. Moreover, he also gave a solemn declaration that the information submitted by him was correct. Thus, not only the appellant lost his first position in the select list but he had given wrong information and had made a false declaration. All the three individually disentitled the appellant the Operatorship. The Corporation had rightly not awarded the Operatorship to the appellant. Learned Single Judge has rightly rejected the writ petition. No case for interference is made out. The Appeal is dismissed in limine. S.Sb/- (R.M. Doshit, CJ.) (Jyoti Saran, J.)
