A.G. for respondents-State. Whether reports of Local Papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2 Mr. G. S. Rathore, Advocate, for respondent No. 6. Justice Sanjay Karol, J. (Oral) Petitioner has prayed for the following reliefs:- “a. The respondents may be ordered to submit before this Hon’ble Tribunal the verification and authenticity of various certificates submitted by Smt. Indira Devi after properly investigating the approving the same from the Board of School Education Punjab. In the event of falseness of these testimonials the Hon’ble Tribunal may kindly order the cancellation of appointment of Smt. Indira Devi and ordering the appointment of applicant being the eligible and selected candidate. The respondents may also be ordered to take suitable action against culprits. b. The records of the case may kindly be called for perusal of the court including examination records from Punjab School Education Board. c. The cost of the Petition may kindly be awarded in favour of the applicant. d. Any other order deemed fit in the facts and circumstances of the case may kindly be awarded in favour of the applicant and against the wrong doer.” 2. Certificates issued by the Punjab School Education Board (page 10 and page 11) prima facie do not appear to be fake. Except for the bald assertion that photographs on both these certificates are same, there is nothing on record to substantiate the said plea. In my considered view this Court, in a writ jurisdiction, cannot go 3 into the question of correctness of the certificates particularly when there is nothing else to even prima facie suggest that they are fake. 3. Consequently, present petition devoid of any merit is dismissed. However, it is open for the petitioner to take recourse to such remedies as are available in law including seeking appropriate information from the Punjab School Education Board with regard to the correctness/genuineness of the certificates. Petition stands disposed of accordingly. (Justice Sanjay Karol), Judge. December 7 , 2011 (PK)
