CW-2015-0022Madhubani, BiharJudgment 16 February 2015
Madhubani District Police Constable vs The State of Bihar and Others
The judgment of the Patna High Court records the following account. [name withheld], appointed as a constable in Purnea in September 1981, challenged his May 2012 dismissal by the Superintendent of Police, Madhubani, for securing the job with a forged school certificate. The court found he had produced an Arwal school certificate showing a 1956 birth date while records of Maheshwari Academy, Katihar showed a 1949 birth date and an intermediate pass in 1967, making him over-age at appointment. The court held a regular departmental proceeding had proved the forgery, the appellate authority had rightly refused interference, and no mercy was due to one who cheated the State to join the police. The writ petition was dismissed and the dismissal stands. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
