IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Regular Second Appeal No.3156 of 2006 Date of Decision: July 31, 2008 Karamjit Singh .....APPELLANT(S) VERSUS The State of Punjab & Others .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. G.S. Sandhu, Advocate, for the appellant. Mr. Anil Sharma, Senior Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) This regular second appeal has been filed by the plaintiff against judgment of reversal. The plaintiff brought a suit for declaration in challenge to the order of dismissal. The action of dismissal was taken when it was found by the Department/ Employer that the plaintiff, infact, had relied on a forged/ fabricated certificate reflecting that he had passed the 9th Class. The first Appellate Court has considered the issue as also the evidence in Para 11, 12 and 13 of its judgment. It has been noticed that the plaintiff RSA No.3156 of 2006 [2] had submitted certificate of 9th Class having been issued by the Head Master of Government High School, Nandgarh, District Faridkot. Verification was done whereupon it was found that the authorities had never issued the certificate. The plaintiff had never studied in the school during the given period. So as to establish this fact, other than the witnesses of the Department, Surjit Singh, Head Master, Government High School, Nandgarh, was examined. As against the over-whelming evidence produced by the defendants, the plaintiff did not produce any evidence despite sufficient opportunity having been given. So much so, assistance of co-worker, Mr. Om Parkash, Conductor No.54, was given to the plaintiff in the enquiry proceedings. The principles of natural justice were satisfied and no infirmity can be traced in the departmental proceedings. The reasons are based on relevant evidence and material. Learned counsel for the appellant has not been able to point out any perverse reading of evidence or any material that has been ignored by the Court below. No substantial question of law arises for consideration so as to call for interference by this Court. Appeal is dismissed. (AJAI LAMBA) July 31, 2008 JUDGE avin
