Coram : Hon’ble Barin Ghosh, Chief Justice Hon’ble Servesh Kumar Gupta, Judge Date of Decision: 27th June, 2011 Barin Ghosh, C.J. (Oral) It is submitted by the appellant, which submission for the purpose of the present appeal is accepted by us at this stage subject to further inquiry to be made at the appropriate stage, that there was only one First Information Report against the appellant, the same was investigated, and thereupon a report in final form was filed. In the circumstances, it is contended that there is no material on the basis whereof the District Magistrate could deny to issue a character certificate in favour of the appellant. In the circumstances, it appears to us that the direction to cancel the contracts already granted in favour of the appellant was too harsh. We, accordingly, set aside the order under appeal dated 16th June, 2011. The appellant shall file an impleadment memo impleading respondent No.3, as was ordered on 27th May, 2011. With the direction as above, the appeal is disposed of. Let the writ petition be heard on its merit. (Servesh Kumar Gupta, J.) ( Barin Ghosh, C.J.) 27.06.2011 27.06.2011 P. Singh
