MOTOR VEHICLE DEPARTMENT MON, NAGALAND ----------- For the petitioner : Mr. S.M.Ehtesham, Advocate. For the Union of India : Mr. Rashid Izhar, Advocate. ======= 2. 05.02.2010. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the Union of India. 2. Petitioner was an applicant for the post of Driver in the Central Reserve Police Force (hereinafter referred to as “C.R.P.F”.) pursuant to advertisement published in Dainik Jagran and Aaj newspaper, Patna edition dated 10.5.2008, Annexure-1. He participated in the selection process and became successful but on verification his driving licence was found forged and on that ground he has been refused appointment on the post of Driver by the Deputy Inspector General, C.R.P.F. under order dated 28th April, 2009, Annexure-4. Perusal of Annexure-4 indicates that his driving licence issued by the District Transport Officer, Mon., Nagaland was verified from the office of the District Transport Officer and the said District Transport Officer under letter dated 01.09.2008 confirmed that the certificate was never issued by his office and is forged. 3. Petitioner disputes such fact on the basis of another certificate issued from the office of the District Transport Officer bearing no. 16749-53 - 2 - dated 16th June, 2009, as contained in Annexure-6, wherefrom it appears that the driving licence of the petitioner bearing no. 41840/TV/MON/08 issued on 7.2.2008, Annexure-5 was issued by the District Transport Officer, Mon, Nagaland. In this connection petitioner further states that the driving licence no. 41840/TV/MON/08 was furnished by him at the time of selection and the letter dated 1.9.2008 of the District Transport Officer, Mon, Nagaland referred to in the impugned order dated 28th April, 2009, Annexure-4 does not reflect the correct position. 4. Having heard counsel for the petitioner and the Union of India, I direct the Deputy Inspector General (Group Centre), C.R.P.F., Sindri, Respondent No.4 to first verify that the driving licence no. 41840/TV/MON/08 issued on 7.2.2008, Annexure-5 was furnished by the petitioner with the application and if that be so then to seek verification about the correctness or otherwise of the certificate letter dated 16th June, 2009, Annexure-6. In the event it is found that petitioner had submitted the driving licence no.41840/TV/MON/08, Annexure-5 at the time of application and the same is not forged in the light of the certificate dated 16th June, 2009, Annexure-6 then the D.I.G. (Group Centre), C.R.P.F., Sindri should ensure that petitioner is permitted to join the C.R.P.F. on the post of Driver. The confirmation in terms of this order be made within a period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order before Respondent no.4. 5. This writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
