The case of the petitioner in a nut shell is stated hereunder:- He has completed his B.Com Degree in Madurai Kamaraj University and after that, he had completed his B.P.ED Degree in Sri K.Venkatapatheppa College of Physical Education, Chickballapur 562 101 (affiliated to Bangalore University), Karnataka State in the academic year 2000 – 2001 and Bangalore University issued convocation on 22/2/2002. He submitted an application along with necessary fees with the first respondent on 28/7/2006 for getting genuinity certificate from Bangalore University enabling him to obtain Physical Education Teacher post in Tamil Nadu Education Department 4. Since the genuinity certificate was not issued, he made a representation under the Right to Information Act 25/8/2008 and on receipt https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ of the same, the second respondent replied in his proceedings O.Mu.No.85887/K/E2/08 dated 2/9/2008 that the Degree original mark statement and Convocation were sent for verification to Bangalore University. After two years, once again, the Director of School Education communicated a letter dated 18/11/2008 stating that Bangalore University demanded a sum of Rs.200/- by way of Demand Draft in their letter dated 7/11/2008 and therefore, the respondents directed the petitioner to get a Demand Draft for Rs.200/- in favour of Bangalore University, Bangalore. On receipt of the same, the petitioner obtained a Demand Draft and forwarded the same to the first respondent along with his representation dated 3/12/2008. But, till date, the petitioner has not received any communication. 5. Long after that, he has received a communication from the second respondent on 13/5/2010 stating that the Office of the Director of School Education has not received any such communication from Bangalore University till such time. Hence, the petitioner directly approached Bangalore University Authorities and requested them to redress any grievance. To his shock and surprise the authorities of Bangalore University replied that they have not received the original certificates from the respondents 1 and 2. Thereafter, the petitioner approached the respondents 1 and 2 to obtain genuinity certificate from the third respondent enabling the petitioner to get employment in Tamil Nadu Education Department. Since the matter has not progressed, he has filed the present writ petition. 6. Considering the limited scope of the matter, without expressing any opinion on the claim made by the petitioner, I direct the respondents 1 and 2 to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 28/7/2006 and pass appropriate orders or take appropriate action, on merits and in accordance with law within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 7. This writ petition is ordered accordingly. No costs. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(CO) /TRUE COPY/ Sub Assistant Registrar To 1. The Director of School Education College Road,Chennai 600 006. 2.
