Pursuant to which, she appeared for certificate verification with all the certificates, except the certificate of dependency of Ex-serviceman.

It is also specifically mentioned that on the date of verification, the candidates have to submit all the original certificates. It is also made clear that after the date of certificate verification, no certificate would be entertained by the Board. For the purpose of above, Clause 4 of the said memorandum dated 30.04.2010, extracted hereunder:- "4)rhd;wpjH; rhpghh;jy; md;W Fgtpdhplk; rkh;g;gpf;fg;gLk; mry; Mtz';fs; kl;Lnk Vw;Wf;bfhs;sg;gLk;. mj;njjpf;Fg; gpd;dh; Mrphpah; njh;t[ thhpaj;jpw;F tUif g[hpe;J nehpy; rkh;g;gpf;gg;gLk; ve;j Mtz';fSk; Vw;Wf; bfhs;sg;glkhl;lhJ." 6.Pleadings and material on record disclose that certificate verification was done on 12.05.2010. However, the petitioner has obtained the certificate of dependency of Ex-serviceman only on 18.08.2010 from the Department of Ex-servicemen's Welfare, Office of the Assistant Director of Ex-servicemen's Welfare District Soldiers Sailors & Airmen's Board, Madurai. Had the petitioner obtained the said certificate prior to the date of certificate verification, there could be a direction to the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner to the post of B.T.Assistant (English) under the priority category of General Turn (GT). In view of the specific clause in the memorandum dated 30.04.2010 that no document would be entertained by the Teachers' Recruitment Board, after the date of certificate verification, the direction sought for in this Writ petition cannot be granted. 7.In view of the above, this Court is not inclined to entertain the Writ petition and if any direction is given, contrary to the conditions contained in the memorandum, it will open a Pandora's box of unsettling matters which are already settled, then the Teacher's Recruitment Board will be constrained to receive certificates produced after the date of certificate verification. Hence, the Writ petition stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected M.P.is closed.
