1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CIVIL WRIT JURISDICTION CASE No.15047 of 2006 ====================================================== Smt.Krishna Devi, Wife of Tripit Narayan Singh, resident of Village Noma, P.O. Noma, Police Station Halsi, District Lakhisarai. .... .... Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar. 2. The Director, Primary Education, Human Resources Development Department, New Secretariat, Patna. 3. The District Superintendent of Education-cum-Sub-Divisional Education Officer, Lakhisarai. 4. The Block Education Extension Officer, Halsi, Lakhisarai. 5. The District Education Establishment Committee, Lakhisarai through its Secretary. .... .... Respondents ====================================================== 3 12-07-2011 Having regard to the fact that that the petitioner is not in a position to even controvert the specific assertion made by the respondents in their counter affidavit that the certificate of training produced by her at the time of appointment is forged, this Court will have no difficulty in coming to a conclusion that the impugned order, terminating the services of the petitioner, does not suffer from any error. A person, who, at the time of seeking appointment would resort to making fraud by misrepresenting to have been a trained hand, on being discovered that he or she had never undergone such training and that even then he or she had misrepresented by producing a forged certificate of training, would not be entitled for any relief under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The petitioner, however, has a valid grievance that she alone was not party to such an illegal and/or fraudulent appointment and in fact the authority who had made such an appointment should also be held guilty, specially when the petitioner was allowed to continue in service for almost 26 years with full 2 facility and payment of salary. Thus even when this Court would not interfere in the impugned order of termination of service for the aforesaid reasons, it would still give liberty to the petitioner to approach the Director of Primary Education by filing a self- contained representation disclosing the name and detail of the person who had appointed her even when she had produced a forged certificate. In case, such a representation is filed by the petitioner, the Director, Primary Education shall take appropriate steps against the person concerned. With the aforementioned observations and direction, this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J)
