WP(C) 1231/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE T VAIPHEI Heard Mr SK Medhi, the learned counsel for the petitioner and Ms K Devi, the lea rned counsel appearing for the State respondents. The petitioner is aggrieved by the inordinate delay in appointin g him as a Constable in the Assam Commando Battalion, Mandakata. In the recruitm ent process of Constable in the Assam Commando Battalion, Mandakata, he was duly selected and was issued the letter dated 04.02.2005 by the Chairman/Commandant, Assam Commando Battalion, Mandakata appointing him as Constable in the Assam Co mmando Battalion, Mandakata on probation. He was accordingly directed to report to the Chairman/Commandant, Assam Commando Battalion, Mandakata for medical exam ination within 7 days, which he did so and was found fit for the appointment. He was then asked to report for duty within 15 days from the date of receipt of th e appointment letter. Some delays ensued due to court cases filed by some candid ates from different districts of Assam. Ultimately, when he had gone to join his duty, he was not allowed to do so as he was said to be implicated in a police c ase i.e. Goreswar PS Case No.57 of 2006. However, subsequently, the Officer-in-C harge of Goreswar Police Station sent the WT Message dated 12.09.2008 to the Sup erintendent of Police, Baksa District informing him that the petitioner, after i nvestigation, not found involved in the case and his name was accordingly delete d. On the basis of this WT Message, the Superintendent of Police, Baksa District issued the Police Report dated 11.08.2008 to the Inspector General of Police (S B) certifying therein that the character and antecedents of the petitioner were satisfactory and there were no adverse remark against him. This was duly communi cated by the Superintendent of Police (DSB), Assam to the Commandant, Assam Comm ando Battalion, Mandakata. The specific case of the petitioner is that the afore said Police case for which he was subsequently exonerated was the only reason fo r delaying his appointment. A perusal of paragraph 7 of the affidavit-in-opposition filed by the State respondents reveals that the State respondents have also admitted tha t though the petitioner was arrested in Goreswar PS Case No.57/2006, no sufficie nt evidence was found against him. Furthermore, the letter of the Superintendent of Police, Baksa District addressed to the Commandant, Assam Commando Battalion , Mandakata which is at Annexure-5 to the affidavit-in-opposition of the State r espondents also indicates that the petitioner was ultimately exonerated from the case. In view of this subsequent development, the reason withholding the appoin tment of the petitioner is no longer in existence. Under the circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of by directing the State respondents, particularly, the respondent No.3 to appoint the petitioner to the post of Constable in the As sam Commando Battalion, Mandakata. Normally, a writ court does not direct the St ate authorities to issue an appointment order, but in this instant case when no other reason is assigned by the respondents for denying the appointment, I have no alternative but to pass this kind of order made hereinabove. The entire exerc ise shall be carried out by the State respondents within a period of three month s from the date of receipt of this order. The parties are however directed to bear their respective costs.
