LOKNATH YADAV Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) : Heard Sri Rajiv Ranjan, learned counsel for the petitioner and J.C. to A.G. for the respondent State.

(2.) THE petitioners grievance in this writ application is that the respondents have illegally refused to allow him to join service on the post of Police Constable inspite of the fact that he was given letter of appointment pursuant to his selection after qualifying in the several tests conducted by the respondents.

(3.) REFERRING to the counter affidavit of the respondents, learned counsel submits that the respondents have not disputed the fact that the petitioner, being the actual applicant, had appeared at the physical and medical tests and in absence of any such dispute, the denial of the petitioners appointment, merely on the basis of some variations in the signatures in the master chart, could not have been cancelled. Learned counsel adds that there could be several explanations offered by the petitioner for the variations in the signatures, had he been given a reasonable opportunity to explain.
