BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI. P.NANDAKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/03/2008 ALONG WITH WP(C) NO. 33572/2007 AND CONNECTED CASES, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 25910 & 26065 OF 2007 ========================== Dated this the 24th day of August, 2007 O R D E R Petitioner in WP(C) No.25910 of 2007 had been selected for the post of Police Constable (AP Battalion) and intimation on this behalf is Ext.P1. In so far as the petitioner in WP(C) No.26065 of 2007 is concerned, he has been selected as Police Constable (KAP-II Battalion). It is their apprehension that they are involved in criminal cases and therefore they will not be admitted for training. Therefore they seek orders directing the respondents to admit them for training. This Court had occasion to deal with a similar issue in WP(C) 24198 of 2005 and WP(C) 24323 of 2007, wherein interim orders have been passed directing that the petitioners therein shall be admitted for training. In line with the interim orders in those cases, I pass the following interim order. Accordingly, it is ordered that the respondents shall permit the petitioners to attend the ensuing training after following the procedure prescribed therefore and other rules relating to WPC 25910 & 26065/07 : 2 : discipline. If the petitioners are found ineligible, based on the judgment of the Criminal Court, to enter Government Service as Police Constable,, the respondents will have the right to recover the entire expenses incurred by the State for providing training to them. Petitioners shall execute a bond undertaking that they shall refund the entire amount spent for the purpose of training. Upon executing the bond, they shall be permitted to attend the training. It is clarified that the training will be provisional and subject to further orders from this Court. Post this along with WPC 24323/07. Hand over the order. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
