BIRENDRA RAM Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD the parties.

(2.) THE short question that falls for consideration is as to whether petitioner as a matter of right can claim issuance of appointment letter by the respondents for the post of Constable particularly in the facts and circumstances of the present case.

(3.) ADMITTEDLY , petitioner remained in Jail custody for about one year on the charges of committing murder of his wife. It is different thing that ultimately he was acquitted from criminal charges. It is -therefore, clear that there is no question of keeping the appointment of other persons in abeyance. It was not on account of any omission or commission or any fault of the respondent, appointment letter was not issued to the petitioner but it was because of the fact that petitioner was in jail custody for about one year, he was not called for final interview and appointment.
