IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5711 of 2009 KRISHNA KUMAR SRIVASTAVA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 12.5.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The only question involved in this case is as to whether the denial of weightage of five points to the petitioner on account of his being participated in an Open State Tournament despite enclosing certificate to this effect is justified. From the order passed by the competent authority dated 10.8.2008, it would appear that the Superintendent of Police, Vaishali, Hazipur in his report to the Deputy Inspector General, Tirhut Division, Muzaffarpur had categorically stated that the petitioner had not enclosed the certificate of the year 2003- 04 tournament issued by Bhagalpur Football & Atheletic Association and the team securing first place. In the said report of the concerned authority it has been categorically stated that the petitioner had merely submitted a certificate of participation in the 2007 Football Tournament. 2 This Court however has now been made to understand that the petitioner had also submitted the aforementioned certificate as contained in Anenxure-5 regarding 2003-04 Tournament. This Court would however find no reason as to why the authority could have made an incorrect statement in his report as with regard to submission of certificate of 2007 Tournament only when the petitioner claims to have also played and filed certificate on 2003-04 Tournament. Counsel for the petitioner has produced before this Court the abstract of the application which does not contain any proof of enclosure of the aforesaid certificate of 2003-04 tournaments. The advertisement as contained in Annexure-1 clearly mentions that in order to get point for weightage, one has to enclose the certificate of participation in the tournament showing that in such tournament the team was either a winner of gold medal, silver medal or bronze medal so as to secure 5, 3 & 1 weightage points respectively. Admittedly when the petitioner had participated in the year 2007 tournament, his 3 team had not secured the gold medal and therefore, the 2007 tournament certificate could not have got him the weightage of five points. It is however the tournament of the year 2003-04 which is now being claimed by the petitioner for the weightage but if that certificate was not submitted, this Court would not allow the whole reevaluation to be made afresh. As a matter of fact, this Court, prima- facie is even otherwise satisfied that Annexure-5, the certificate was not a complete document, inasmuch as, the same does not bear the signature of the District Magistrate, Bhagalpur and the other three signatories have only put their rubber stamps and therefore, it will be very difficult to say as to whether this certificate was available to the petitioner much less was filed by him along with the application in the year, 2004. That being so, this Court does not find any merit in this writ application and accordingly, the same is dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
