Bahal Singh, r/o village Kanianwala Khurd, Village and Post Office Jand Sahib, District Faridkot. ......Petitioner Vs The State of Punjab and others. ......Respondents CORAM:-HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJAN GOGOI, ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH Present: Mr. H.K. Aurora, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * * RANJAN GOGOI, A.C.J. (ORAL) This PIL has been filed for quashing the appointment of respondent No. 7 who is presently working as a Hawaldar in the Punjab Police. According to the petitioner, the said respondent No. 7 had entered service on the basis of a forged and fabricated matriculation certificate. The respondent No. 7 had entered service sometime in the year 1992. On 03.05.2010 the petitioner had submitted a complaint with regard to the entry of the respondent No. 7 in service on the basis of a forged matriculation certificate. The said complaint was addressed to the Additional Director General of Police. It appears from Annexure CWP No. 2593 of 2011 2 P4 that the complaint of the petitioner was endorsed to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Ferozepur for inquiry/verification. The report of such verification dated 06.07.2010 (Annexure P4) indicates that the petitioner and the respondent No. 7 have a boundary dispute and furthermore the matriculation certificate furnished by the respondent No. 7 was duly verified from the Punjab School Education Board and was found to be correct. In the aforesaid facts, we are of the view that this PIL is an abuse of the process of the Court and, therefore, should be dismissed with cost which is to be quantified at Rs. 10,000/-. The cost amount be deposited in the account of the Punjab Legal Services Authority within 30 days from today. (RANJAN GOGOI) ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE (AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH) JUDGE 11.02.2011 Amodh
