He appeared in the physical and written test and became successful as is evident from the result published in the Newspaper on 05.02.2009, Annexure-7 whereafter he submitted his joining but the joining was not accepted in the light of the notice published in the - 2 - Newspaper which is contained in Annexure-8 on the ground that his character verification report in regard to the petitioner was not received in the Police Headquarters.

In the light of the judgment dated 25.07.2009 the Superintendent of Police, Buxer is required to submit character verification report as besides the said case petitioner is not accused in any other case and he having been acquitted in the case lodged by his wife is fit to be considered for appointment as Sub Inspector of Police.
