THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No. 4821 of 2010 ORDER: The Indian Oil Corporation issued a notification dated 08.10.2009 inviting applications for selection of dealers for petroleum outlets. The petitioner, second respondent and others submitted applications for outlet in a locality at Visakapatnam. The applicants such of those who were found eligible were issued call letters for interview. One of the conditions was that the candidates must produce original certificates at the time of interview. The petitioner, however, did not produce the original S.S.C. certificate. He produced only attested copy of the certificate. Further a discrepancy was noted in the name of the petitioner mentioned in the application on one hand and various certificates on the other hand. On these grounds, the first respondent refused to consider the candidature of the petitioner. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the same. Learned counsel for the petitioner stated that the discrepancy is minor and that the original certificate was sent for correction to the Board of Secondary Education. Respondent No.1 filed counter affidavit opposing the petition. It is stated that on two important grounds, the application of the petitioner was found to be defective. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. It is not in dispute that production of original certificate is one of the important conditions at the time of interview. Even if there existed valid justification for the petitioner for non production of the original certificate, he cannot escape from the consequences flowing from it. Secondly, when the discrepancy in the name as mentioned in the application on the one hand and certificates on the other hand was pointed out, the petitioner is not able to explain it properly. In those circumstances, it cannot be said that the steps taken by the first respondent are untenable. At any rate, the petitioner had remedy by way of approaching the Grievance Redressal Committee and it is now stated that the application submitted by the petitioner to the Grievance Redressal Committee was also rejected after verification. The writ petition is dismissed accordingly. No costs. L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt. 01.03.2011 lvl THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No. 4821 of 2010 Dt. 01.03.2011
