1 S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 2470/2008 Jagdish Kumar Vs. Union of India & Ors. Date of Order :: 16.4.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. Vinay Jain, for the petitioner. ... By an order dated 2.4.2008 the Assistant Security Commissioner cum Principal, Railway Protection Force Training Center, Bandikui declared the petitioner ineligible to be appointed as Constable in view of the submission of false statement. Pertinent to note that in an application form for recruitment, on asking as to whether the petitioner was ever prosecuted for any criminal charge a negative reply was given by the petitioner. On verification of character the respondents came to know about a criminal prosecution of the petitioner though that ultimately resulted in his acquittal. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that merely on the count that the petitioner faced prosecution, the appointment could have not been denied to him, specially in the circumstances that he was acquitted from the charges alleged. I do not find any substance in the argument so advanced as it is 2 not the case of denying appointment on the count of facing a criminal prosecution, but for the reasons that a false statement was made by the petitioner in the application form for recruitment. I have perused the form as supplied by learned counsel for the petitioner, though not placed on record and from perusal thereof it reveals that by a positive action the petitioner answered that he never faced any prosecution. The statement is apparently false, and therefore, I do not find any illegality in the order impugned. The writ petition is dismissed accordingly. (GOVIND MATHUR), J. Jgoyal
