GANESH PRASAD VERMA Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD Sri Rajiv Ranjan, learned counsel for the petitioner and J.C. to G.P. -III for the respondent State.

(2.) THE petitioners grievance in this writ application is against the order dated 31.05.2006 (annexure -10) whereby the service of the petitioner was terminated purportedly on a misconceived ground that the certificate produced by him mentioning his date of birth was a false and fabricated certificate.

(3.) LEARNED counsel for the respondent State would submit that the petitioner cannot find any fault in the impugned order terminating his service in view of the fact that before taking such decision, the petitioner was given notice to explain but he did not avail the opportunity. The order for terminating the services, which was taken not only in the case of the petitioner but also in the cases of several other teachers, was on bona -fide and genuine grounds in as much as, the information obtained from the concerned Board which had purportedly issued the certificates to the petitioner and the other teachers, were verified and on the basis of the information furnished by the concerned Boards, it was found that there was discrepancy in the date of birth as claimed by the petitioner and the other teachers, as compared to the entry in their respective certificates.
