IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No 12696 of 2010 1. SHAMBHU PRASAD S/O LATE RAMJI PRASAD R/O VILL.- KHANETU, P.S. TIKARI, DISTT.- GAYA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE, BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE COMMANDANT, BIHAR MILITARY POLICE, MUZAFFARPUR 4. THE D.I.G., BIHAR, PATNA 5. THE INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE 6. THE SUPERINTENDENT OF COMMISSION, MUZAFFARPUR *** For the petitioner : Mr T N Maitin, Sr Advocate For the S t a t e : Mr Sanjeev Kr, AC to AAG 4 *** 2 29.09.2010 The petitioner had been selected as a Police Constable but, thereafter, it was learnt that he was an accused in a gang rape case which fact he had not disclosed. On that ground, petitioner was dismissed. By this writ application, the petitioner prays for reinstatement on the ground that he has been acquitted by the appellate Court (High Court) of the charge of gang rape. That being so whether the factum of pendency of the criminal case was concealed or not becomes irrelevant. I am unable to persuade myself to such a broad proposition especially in view of the fact that the employment, being sought, is in uniformed service as a Police Constable. It is then submitted that similarly situated persons have been taken back in service. In my view, that will not change the situation. If the petitioner can persuade the authorities to rethink the matter, he has the liberty but certainly this Court will not issue any direction in that regard. In that view of the matter, the writ petition does not merit consideration. It is dismissed accordingly. M.E.H./ (Navaniti Prasad Singh) 2
