The respondent by letter dated 19.1.2002 intimated that the petitioner passed in the common entrance examination and directed to report in the office of the respondent on 30.1.2002 with all the original certificates, recent passport size photos and the relevant documents including SSC certificate and accordingly he appeared and submitted the documents and further he also undergone medical examination and was declared fit. Thereafter, though the process of selection was completed, the authorities of the respondent did not issue any appointment orders and hence filed the present writ petition. 2. The respondent filed counter affidavit and stated inter alia that on 30.1.2002 the original high school certificate produced by the petitioner showed that he passed the tenth qualifying examination from Government Inter College Semandidhar,Tehri Garhwal in 1997as a regular student, but the resident certificate produced by him with tampered and unfilled dates issued in September, 2000, showed that he was resident of New Ramrao Nagar Babbuguda, Bala Nagar Mandal, district Rangareddy for last seven years and when the petitioner was questioned on this contradictory information, he disclosed that he passed 10th class as a private candidate from outside A.P.. The Recruitment Officer directed the petitioner to produce the relevant proof by 11.2.2002 for his dispatch to the training centre, but the petitioner neither came to the office and even his resident certificate forwarded for verification to the Mandal Revenue Officer Balanagar vide letter dated 19.1.2002 under intimation to the District Collector, Rangareddy District, has not been verified till date. The selection process ends within 180 days from the date of initial primary examination held on 21.11.2001 and, therefore, in the present case the individual’s candidature automatically got cancelled and further the petitioner has become over aged for the post in August, 2002. It is further stated that the petitioner does not full the ‘local candidate’ criteria as stipulated under Government of Andhra Pradesh letter No.694/RR/2/2001 dated 10.4.2001. With these averments, the writ petition was sought to be dismissed. 3. No reply affidavit is filed denying the averments made in the counter affidavit. 4. Having regard to the averments made in the counter affidavit as the petitioner submitted inconsistent and contradictory information and failed to respond to the direction of the respondent by producing relevant and necessary documents by 11.2.2002 and as the petitioner also failed to prove his local candidature, and as the selection lapsed within 180 days from the initial primary medical examination and also as the petitioner has become over aged, I am of the view that there are no merits in the writ petition and same needs to be dismissed. 5. Accordingly the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. AVS --------------------------- 31—05—2010
