IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.2993/02 Amilal vs. State of Raj. & Ors. Date of order : 2/7/2008. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri Amit Mathur for the petitioner. Shri Shiv Lal Meena, Dy. Govt. Counsel for the State. ****** This writ petition has been filed by Ami Lal inter alia on the premise that the respondent issued an advertisement on 26.11.1998 for appointment on 250 vacancies of Teacher Grade-III. The qualification required was secondary or senior secondary or other equivalent qualification with B.Ed. The petitioner who was a graduate having degree of B.Sc. from University of Rajasthan enrolled himself with at Lalit Narayan Mithila University, Kameshwar Nagar, Darbhanga for B.Ed. Course in 1996. He obtained the B.Ed. Degree from Darbanga University in the year 1998. The respondents illegally on the basis of mere doubt withheld the appointment of the petitioner even though he had secured position in the merit list. It is therefore prayed that the respondents be directed by issue of mandamus to appoint him on the post of Teacher Gr. III with all consequential benefits. Shri Shiv Lal Meena, however opposed the writ petition and contested the claim of the petitioner. It is alleged that a news was circulated that 4000 forged degrees were distributed in the State of Bihar and there was a gang involved in it for giving appointment to large number of persons. The State of Rajasthan has also passed an order on 11.6.1999 that no appointment shall be made on the basis of degrees obtained from Bihar unless genuineness thereof is verified and for proving the same, enquiry into the matter was ordered. One Laxman Singh Toma, Deputy Inspector, Jaipur Region, Jaipur was sent to Bihar for verification of the documents of the petitioner but the investigation is said to be pending. It is argued that in similar cases the appointment has been denied to large number of other candidates and similar petitions have already been dismissed by this Court. In view of the stand taken by the respondents and where there are serious doubts about the genuineness of the degree, which is alleged to be fraud one, a mandamus entitling the petitioner to appointment, cannot certainly be issued. The writ petition is therefore dismissed. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ), J. RS/
