Petitioner was applicant for appointment on the post of Constable (G.D.) in the Central Industrial Security Force (hereinafter referred to as the “C.I.S.F”). His candidature was rejected under Rejection Slip dated 26.3.2010, Annexure-1 on the ground that he was found under height. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that perusal of rejection slip itself would indicate that candidate was granted opportunity to file appeal and the decision of the appellate authority was to be final. It is also submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he could not file appeal before the D.I.G., Raurkela as he was not available at Barauni where he was served with the Rejection-Slip and it was not possible for him to approach the D.I.G. at Raurkela for filing the appeal. It is submitted that petitioner had filed appeal before the D.I.G., C.I.S.F., Patna which is dated 26.3.2010 and copy thereof is contained in Annexure-8 to this - 2 - application. Counsel for the C.I.S.F. with reference to the averment made in the counter affidavit states that appeal of the petitioner dated 26.3.2010, Annexure-8 has not been received in the office of the D.I.G., C.I.S.F., Patna. It appears that the appeal filed by the petitioner before the D.I.G., C.I.S.F., Patna on 26.3.2010 has been lost either in transit or misplaced in the office, in the circumstances, it is directed that petitioner should file a fresh appeal along with a certified copy of my order before the D.I.G., C.I.S.F., Patna who should get the petitioner measured and if he has the required height then he be considered for appointment in accordance with law. The measurement in the light of my order be taken within two weeks of the appearance of the petitioner before the D.I.G., C.I.S.F. along with a copy of this order and if he is found under-height then to that effect an order be made and served on the petitioner.
