Purnia 3. 21.06.2011 Heard Mr. Ram Hriday Prasad, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Ajay Kumar Sharma, A.C. to A.A.G.I for the State. The petitioner in his writ petition has made a prayer for giving him a direction to the respondents to appoint the petitioner on the post of constable, Kishanganj. In the writ petition, the petitioner has stated that his height is 179.05 cm and chest is 84 cm and he has crossed against the physical test and other tests. In pursuance thereof, the Superintendent of Police, Kishanganj, vide letter dated 16th March, 2005 has stated that the petitioner was found fit by the Selection Committee and he was directed to produce his original certificates, such as, certificate of date of birth, educational certificate, residential certificate, N.C.C. and other certificates and if it is found that that all his certificates are genuine, then he would be appointed accordingly. In Para-8, it is stated that the petitioner appeared before the authority on 8th April 2005 along with the required certificates which were examined and found to be genuine, but his joining was not accepted saying that his height was less recorded in 2 the master chart as 169.5 cm. but he has stated his height to be 179.5 cm. Accordingly, he was not allowed to join the post. Thereafter the petitioner made an application to the Director Inspector General of Police, Purnea Range, the Zonal Inspector General of Police, Darbhanga and the Director General of Police, Bihar stating that his height was 179.5 cm but he was not allowed to join his post. Petitioner has filed supplementary affidavit bringing on record the letter dated 13th August 2005 of D.I.G. (Annexure-5) in which he has stated that by mistake his height has been mentioned in the master chart as 169.5 cm, as is clear from Memo No. 262 dated 14th July 2005 of the Commandant, Purnia where his height was mentioned as 179.5 cm. and, accordingly he has directed the Superintendent of Police, Kishanganj to tally with the same and allow him to join his post. The State has not filed any counter affidavit denying the facts mentioned in the letter. In such view of the matters, I direct the Superintendent of Police, Kishanganj to verify this fact and if it is found that the height of the petitioner is 179.5 cm, he would accept his joining within 4 weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. Jay/ ( Shivaji Pandey,J)
