Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's order of directions and Registrar's orders ..................................................................................................................................................................... CORAM : D.D.SINHA & A.P.BHANGALE, JJ. DATED : 9th March, 2011. Heard Mr.N.B.Bargat, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr A.S.Fulzele, learned AGP for respondents 1 to 3. This Writ Petition is directed against the order dated 12.1.2011 passed by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal ( in short “the Tribunal”) whereby the Original Application filed by respondent no.4 came to be allowed and the order of appointment issued in favour of the petitioner as Police Patil came to be set aside. The following facts are not in dispute: that one of the conditions in the proclamation was that the candidate must enclose character certificate along with the application. In the instant case, it is not in dispute that the last date for submission of application was 6.2.2009 and the character certificates issued in favour of the petitioner are dated 9.2.2009 and 2 11.2.2009 by the Tahsildar and Executive Magistrate respectively. Thus, the petitioner submitted the application without the requisite character certificate which was necessary as per the proclamation itself. It is not in dispute that there was a requirement of filing character certificate along with the application. Merely because the petitioner was permitted to appear at a later point of time in the process of interview, does not create any legal right in the petitioner since the application of the petitioner was incomplete and not with the requisite document and, therefore, was invalid. Consequently, no case is made out for showing indulgence. Writ Petition is dismissed. Needless to mention that the petitioner is free to apply in future for the said post, in accordance with law.
