The petitioner was deployed as a SPO in the year 1992 by the Police authorities. His name was thereafter approved and shortlisted for absorption as a Constable. It appears that initially there were some doubts with regard to the academic qualifications possessed by the petitioner which it appears were removed. Meanwhile and before the petitioner could be absorbed, he was convicted in a criminal case though but on account of a compromise between the parties, was later on released on probation. (2). Notwithstanding these facts on record, the Senior Superintendent of Police, Fatehgarh Sahib vide CWP No.3296 of 2010.doc - 2 – memo dated 05.02.2009 (Annexure P9) did not doubt the suitability of the petitioner and has forwarded his case for further necessary action. Similarly, the Inspector General of Police, Zonal-I, Punjab, Patiala has also forwarded his case to the Director General of Police vide memo dated 26.08.2009 (Annexure P10), but no final decision appears to have been taken by the competent authority so far. (3). The petitioner has already represented the authorities as is mentioned in the aforesaid recommendations.
