Petitioner assails the order dated 9.10.2010 (Annexure-3) issued by Deputy Inspector General, Group Centre, C.R.P.F., Imphal (Manipur) whereby he was informed about his termination of his service on the ground that the certificate produced from Bihar Sanskrit Siksha Board was not recognized by the Central Government and as such he was ineligible for the post. It appears from the pleadings on record including Annexure-1 that the selection process was conducted in Imphal (Manipur). The impugned order was also passed and served on the petitioner in Imphal (Manipur) as apparent from Annexure-3. Under the circumstances, this Court, prima facie, shall not have territorial jurisdiction to entertain this application. Mr. Ahsan, learned Assistant Solicitor General submits 2 that the Central Government by virtue of a notification published in the Gazette of India on 22.7.2010 amended certain provisions of the Central Reserve Police Force Act, 1949 whereby the certificate issued by the Bihar Sanskrit Siksha board, having been recognized by the concerned State Government, was accepted for the purpose of consideration of educational qualification/eligibility of a candidate for the post of Constable (G.D.). Mr. Manan, learned counsel for the petitioner, submits that petitioner may be permitted to make appropriate representation in the light of the said facts before the appropriate authority. Considering the said stand taken by the petitioner, Mr. Ahsan does not object disposal of the application in the aforesaid term. Having heard the parties and on a consideration of the materials on record, this Court is persuaded to dispose of the application by the following order: Petitioner is at liberty to file appropriate representation before respondent No. 4 ( D.I.G.P, Group Centre, C.R.P.F., Imphal (Manipur). If any such application is filed, needless to observe that the said respondent shall consider and dispose of the same in accordance with law within a reasonable period of time. pkj ( Kishore K.
