IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.17505 of 2011 Sanjiv Kumar S/O Late Udit Ram R/O Village-Dhandi Po Borwal,Ps-Bagaha Distt-West Champaran-Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar through the Chief Secretary Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 2. The D.G. cum I.G. Of Police, Bihar, Patna. 3. The I.G. of Police Muzaffarpur Zone, Muzaffarpur. 4. The D.I.G. of Police Champaran Range, Bettiah. 5. The S.P. Champaran (Motihari)----Respondents ---------------------------------- 2 21.11.2011 Heard learned for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The reason for dismissal of the petitioner from the post of constable was that he had suppressed a vital fact that he was accused in a criminal case under sections 376/511 of the Indian Penal Code as well as which was ultimately tried under section 354 of the Indian Penal Code. At the time of initial recruitment this fact has not been brought to the notice of the respondents. Merely because he came to be acquitted subsequently it does not take away the basic fact of suppression of petitioner being involved in a case which was very much pending at the relevant time. Dismissal on that ground is valid enough ground. Subsequent acquittal of the petitioner will be a subsequent cause of action for future appointment. In view of above no interference is warranted with the order in question when there is categorical finding in this regard recorded by the disciplinary authority. Writ petition is dismissed.
