IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.17235 of 2009 Date of Decision: November 11, 2009 Anita Rani .....PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab & Others .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. N.P.S. Mann, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) Learned counsel contends that there was a clerical error in the English version of the certificate which showed the division of the petitioner to be IIIrd. The Punjabi version of the certificate, however, indicated the Division of the petitioner in Matriculation to be IInd. Be that as it may, learned counsel contends that it is not in dispute that the petitioner got 293 marks out of 650 marks in Matriculation which would constitute 45.07% (IInd Division). Annexure P-8 is the duplicate certificate which also shows that the petitioner CWP No.17235 of 2009 [2] got IInd Division. In such circumstances, appointment of the petitioner as Anganwari Worker cannot be cancelled. The respondents, however, are proceeding against the petitioner for malafide reasons as given out in the petition. It has been pointed out that an enquiry was ordered on this premise. The proceedings have not been finalised. However, on account of the events and circumstances, conduct of the respondents discloses that the petitioner shall be removed from the post of Anganwari Worker. This petition is disposed of with direction to the respondents to consider certificate, Annexure P-8, before proceeding in the matter and passing a final order. The respondents are further directed to have the certificate verified independently from Punjab School Education Board so as to ascertain true facts. Final order be passed only after taking note of the certificate, Annexure P-8, and verification from the Punjab School Education Board. (AJAI LAMBA) November 11, 2009 JUDGE avin CWP No.17235 of 2009 [3] 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?
