IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1341 of 2008 PRASANT KUMAR Versus THE UNION OF INDIA & ORS ----------- 4 24.6.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the Union of India. It appears petitioner became successful in the written and physical test held for the post of Constable in the R.P.F. pursuant to the advertisement published in the Employment News dated 3.4.2007, but could not participate in the certificate verification fixed for 20th of November, 2007 as he could not reach Bilaspur, the place fixed for certificate verification as there was Maoist activity leading to disruption in movement of trains so claimed the counsel for the petitioner which is being refuted by the counsel for the Railways with reference to the certificate Annexure-R/3 wherefrom it appears that the train which left Patna Junction on 18.11.2007 reached Bilaspur on 19.11.2007 at right time. In the circumstances, no positive direction in favour of the petitioner can be issued in the writ petition. However, petitioner is at liberty to represent before the authorities of the Railways so that his claim for certificate verification may be considered as there is no understandable reason for a successful candidate not to appear for certificate verification unless prevented by unforeseen circumstances. If such representation is filed, it should be disposed of as early as possible in any case within one month from the date of its receipt alongwith with a copy of this order. P.K. (V.N. Sinha, J.)
