SHIV RAJ SINGH Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD learned Counsel for the appellant.

(2.) THIS appeal is directed against the order dated 1.10.2007 passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 2044/2007 whereby and whereunder the writ petition was dismissed.

(3.) THE writ petitioner being aggrieved by the aforesaid action of the State authorities, approached this Court in writ jurisdiction where it was contended that since the criminal offence alleged was of petty nature, the writ petitioner could not fill up the Column No. 17 out of ignorance. The plea of the writ petitioner, however, was not accepted by the learned Single Judge of this Court and the writ application was dismissed holding that non -mentioning about the pendency of criminal charge in Column No. 17 which was in the nature of moral turpitude was fatal, and therefore, no interference was required.
