IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11529 of 2002 Rajesh Kumar Singh, Son of Sri Nagendra Singh, Resident of Village-Sabli, Police Station- Baikunthpur, District- Gopalganj. ------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The Director General of Police, Bihar, Patna. 3. Deputy Director General of Police, West Champaran at Bettiah. 4. Superintendent of Police, Bagaha, West Champaran. ------- Respondents ----------- 6 6.7.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The prayer in this writ application reads as follows:- “1(i) For issuance of a writ in the nature of Mandamus to command the respondents to appoint the petitioner on the post of police and further command the respondent since the date from which the claim of appointment of petitioner is entitled.” Counsel for the petitioner would submit that an advertisement issued in the year 1998 lead to the selection of the petitioner but when the appointment letter was issued, the petitioner’s declaration made in the application seeking appointment, was sought to be verified. In course of verification of educational qualification of the petitioner, it was discovered by the respondents that as a matter of fact there was no substance to prove 2 that the petitioner had read up to Class-VII as required in the advertisement. The petitioner has assailed the aforementioned stand of the respondents and it is his case that he was a student of Suba Sanskrit Prathmik Sah Uchha Vidalaya, Sirsa in the district of Gopalganj. For claiming this, the petitioner in this writ application had annexed Annexure-3 i.e. the extract of the Admission Register of the said school and result-sheet of the said school. It has to be noted here that in the writ application, at least, the petitioner had not enclosed the School Leaving Certificate nor statement has been made by the petitioner in the writ application that for claiming himself to be qualified as per advertisement, he had annexed the copy of the School Leaving Certificate dated 7.7.1998. Counsel for the State with reference to the counter affidavit has submitted that when it became absolutely impossible to verify the claim of the petitioner to have read up to Class-VII, a thorough enquiry was conducted by deputing the officials to the alleged school 3 and the Headmaster of the said school had frankly conceded that he had no document on the basis of which he could certify the petitioner to have passed Class-VI examination or even Class-VII examination. Normally a dispute of this nature cannot be gone into in a writ application specially when the petitioner is hiding more than what he was supposed to do by way of proving his bonafide. First of all, the claim of the petitioner that he was admitted in a school which is a private school on 14.1.1990 and his entry in the Admission Register vide serial no.68 becomes itself very-very doubtful in view of the interpolation in the serial number namely changing from the stage of 66 onwards. There is a clear interpolation at serial no. 69-70 and from this onwards and thus extract of the register can not be relied for proving the claim of the petitioner. That is not the end of the matter. The result-sheet of the Class-VI normally records the declaration of the result of five students who were reading in Class-VI. Thereafter, someone has penned over the total number of 4 students as 5 into 6 and sixth student in the entry is non-else but the petitioner. The obvious conclusion is that even in this document, the name of the petitioner has been interpolated. As a matter of fact, the alleged School Leaving Certificate which has been issued by a private school in a prescribed form of the Government school, it does not stand to the reason as to why a student i.e. the petitioner allegedly admitted in the school in the year 1990 and having read in the school for a period of almost four years and having passed the examination, did not choose to even get his certificate from 1993 to 1998. The author of the said certificate Mr. Paras Nath Pandey and Mr. Pramod Singh are today not available for verification of their signature on the alleged certificate as is clear from the enquiry report of the authorities annexed in the counter affidavit. In that view of the matter, it cannot be said that the respondents are still looking into the matter and are yet to decide about the appointment of the petitioner. 5 There is nothing else before this Court to hold that the petitioner has read up to Class-VII and therefore, once authorities were satisfied that the petitioner did not possess requisite qualification, there was no question for appointing the petitioner. In any event, this writ Court after 11 years of the advertisement and more than 9 years of completion of selection process, would not issue any direction for re-verification of the certificate of the petitioner. That being so, this court does not find any merit in this application and the same is accordingly dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
