PANKAJ NUNIA Vs. CO-ORDINATOR RPET-2011

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE petitioner sought consideration of his candidature for admission to the Engineering Course at M.B.M. Engineering College in EX-S2 category, meant for the dependents of ex- servicemen and described as:

(2.) IT remains undeniable that the petitioner's father late L/NK Naresh Kumar was serving with the Boarder Security Force ('the BSF') and died on 17.07.1997 due to drowning in Jhelum river (Kashmir). The respondents proceeded to reject the petitioner's candidature for the category in question; and justification for such rejection is stated essentially in the manner that the certificate as produced by him did not state that his father died while in service with the cause of death being attributed to the military service.

(3.) THE expression "government service" in the above certificate obviously refers to the services with the BSF; and for the nature of such services, this Court is clearly of the view that the petitioner answered to the description of category EX-S2; and having wrongly been denied admission thereunder, is entitled to the appropriate relief.
