CWP(T) No. 2356 of 2008. 25.02.2009 Present: Mr. L.N. Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Senior Additional Advocate General with Mr. Rajinder Dogra, Additional Advocate General and Mr. Vikas Rathore, Deputy Advocate General for the respondents. The petitioner has passed Shastri examination in the month of August, 1978. However, it appears that inadvertently his candidature was considered for 1977 batch. The department rectified this mistake by issuing impugned office order dated 29th October, 1994 (Annexure A-5). The petitioner’s appointment to the post of Shashtri on 22nd October, 1994 was not in accordance with law. There is no illegality in the office order dated 29th October, 1994 whereby the appointment of the petitioner to the post of Shastri was cancelled. The petitioner was not required to be issued any notice since he himself has misrepresented the date of passing the Shastri examination as 1977 instead of 1978. In view of these observations, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), J. February 25, 2009. (sck)
