Kerala High Court<\/div>\n
Babu M.S vs State Of Kerala on 9 January, 2009<\/div>\n
       \n\n  \n\n  \n\n \n \n  IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM\n\nOP.No. 28375 of 2001(C)\n\n\n\n1. BABU M.S.\n                      ...  Petitioner\n\n                        Vs\n\n1.

Justice S.SIRI JAGAN\n\n Dated :09\/01\/2009\n\n O R D E R\n                              S.SIRI JAGAN, J.\n\n                       ==================\n\n                          O.P.No. 28375 of 2001\n\n                       ==================\n\n                Dated this the 9th day of January, 2009\n\n                              J U D G M E N T\n<\/pre>\n
      The petitioner and the 5th respondent have the same name,<\/p>\n
same initial and same address. They are cousins. The petitioner<\/p>\n
submitted application pursuant to the notification issued by the PSC for<\/p>\n
selection to the post of Overseer Grade III (Civil) in the Public Works<\/p>\n
Department.      The petitioner did not get advice and appointment.<\/p>\n
Subsequently, the petitioner went abroad in search of employment.<\/p>\n
When he came back, he came to know that the 5th respondent got<\/p>\n
appointment in the said selection.       According to the petitioner, that<\/p>\n
appointment was by impersonating the petitioner. In the above<\/p>\n
circumstances, the petitioner has filed this original petition seeking the<\/p>\n
following relief:\n<\/p>\n
      “I.   Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or
\n            direction commanding the respondents 1 to 3 to take effective and
\n            expeditious action on Exts.P2 and P3 to throw out the 5th
\n            respondent from service and enable the petitioner to get
\n            appointment as Overseer Grade III with effect from the due date
\n            with all consequential benefits within a time limit to be fixed by
\n            this Hon’ble Court.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      2.    The petitioner would contend that the entire process of<\/p>\n
appointment of the 5th respondent is very suspicious. He relies mainly<\/p>\n
on Ext.P6(a) series which are identification certificates of the 5th<\/p>\n
respondent issued by the Kerala Public Service Commission in several<\/p>\n
o.p.28375\/01                          2<\/span><\/p>\n
selections. The petitioner points out that Ext.P6(a) is the identification<\/p>\n
certificate for the selection, which is in question in this original petition.<\/p>\n
According to the petitioner, the signature of the 5th respondent in<\/p>\n
Ext.P6(a) drastically differs from that in Exts.P6(b) and P6(c). In<\/p>\n
Ext.P6(c) the 5th respondent signed on the photograph extending the<\/p>\n
signature to the certificate also, whereas in Ext.P6(a) the signature is<\/p>\n
confined to the photograph alone, which is not the normal procedure<\/p>\n
for putting the signature in the photograph in an identification<\/p>\n
certificate so as to obviate the possibility of substituting the<\/p>\n
photograph. The petitioner further points out that there is difference<\/p>\n
between Ext.P5 and Ext.R5(f) which are communications issued by<\/p>\n
the PSC, printed in the Government press in the same series. The<\/p>\n
petitioner points out that both are issued for the same selection and<\/p>\n
both contained the same endorsement from the Government Press.<\/p>\n
But the arrangement of signatures in both differs, although the matter<\/p>\n
is the same. The petitioner points out that in Ext.P5, below the<\/p>\n
signature of the signatory of the communication, there is initial of the<\/p>\n
Section Clerk on the left hand side, whereas in Ext.R5(f), the initial is<\/p>\n
just below the signature of the author. According to the petitioner,<\/p>\n
these are circumstances sufficient to come to the conclusion that there<\/p>\n
is some manipulation in the matter of selection of the 5th respondent<\/p>\n
for appointment warranting a detailed enquiry by an appropriate<\/p>\n
o.p.28375\/01                        3<\/span><\/p>\n
authority.\n<\/p>\n
      3.    Counter affidavits and additional affidavits have been filed<\/p>\n
by the 5th respondent. He would categorically deny every allegation<\/p>\n
raised by the petitioner. According to him, signature appearing in<\/p>\n
Ext.P6(a) was his signature in the year 1988 whereas the signatures<\/p>\n
obtaining in Exts.R5(b) and R5(c) were put on 5.8.2003 and<\/p>\n
6.12.2005. According to him, in 1988 he was fresh out of the school<\/p>\n
and he had not yet decided on a permanent signature as such. To<\/p>\n
prove this, he has also produced Ext.R5(g) which is the extract from<\/p>\n
his SSLC book, wherein the signature of the 5th respondent is the same<\/p>\n
as in Ext.P6(a). According to the 5th respondent, subsequently, when,<\/p>\n
pursuant to the selection, he joined, the Section Clerk warned him that<\/p>\n
signature to be put by him would be final and he cannot thereafter<\/p>\n
change it and, therefore,     he   decided to have a stylish signature<\/p>\n
adding his initial also, which resulted in the changed signatures in<\/p>\n
Exts.P6(b) and P6(c). He would point out that the petitioner has filed<\/p>\n
the complaint eight years after the 5th respondent’s appointment,<\/p>\n
which itself is sufficient to dismiss the original petition. According to<\/p>\n
the 5th respondent, there is no reason to suspect any manipulation in<\/p>\n
the 5th respondent’s selection.\n<\/p>\n
      4.    I have considered the rival contentions in detail.<\/p>\n
      5.    I note that the 3rd respondent, as per the direction of this<\/p>\n
o.p.28375\/01                        4<\/span><\/p>\n
Court, conducted an enquiry and filed a statement, wherein they have<\/p>\n
stated that there is no manipulation in the selection process. It is also<\/p>\n
pointed out that the 5th respondent’s is more qualified than the<\/p>\n
petitioner. The petitioner is only an SSLC holder with 210 marks and<\/p>\n
ITI certificate, whereas the 5th respondent passed Junior Technical<\/p>\n
School Leaving Certificate course with 70.7 per cent marks. He has<\/p>\n
also passed Diploma in Civil Engineering. It is pointed out that<\/p>\n
subsequently he has studied privately and passed Civil Engineering<\/p>\n
B.Tech. in December, 2000.\n<\/p>\n
      6.    The learned Government Pleader has obtained a report<\/p>\n
from the Government Press in this regard in the wake of the dispute<\/p>\n
raised by the petitioner regarding the discrepancy between Ext.R5(f)<\/p>\n
and Ext.P5. According to the learned Government Pleader, the report<\/p>\n
filed discloses that the discrepancy may have occurred because of<\/p>\n
printing in two batches simultaneously because of the large number of<\/p>\n
forms required to be printed.\n<\/p>\n
      7.    The PSC would submit that apart from the rank list and<\/p>\n
advice memo, they are not in possession of any other records relating<\/p>\n
to the selection in question in view of passage of time. As such, it is<\/p>\n
impossible to conclusively decide the dispute raised in this matter. As<\/p>\n
is clearly stated by the 3rd respondent in his statement to the effect<\/p>\n
that although the PSC was addressed for forwarding those documents,<\/p>\n
o.p.28375\/01                        5<\/span><\/p>\n
only rank list and advice memo were made available. I am unable to<\/p>\n
indict a person on the basis of such totally inconclusive materials. The<\/p>\n
petitioner may have at the most succeeded in showing a vague<\/p>\n
suspicion with the materials which he has relied upon. The explanation<\/p>\n
submitted by the 5th respondent in respect of those materials, does not<\/p>\n
appear to be unconvincing. In the above circumstances, I am not<\/p>\n
prepared to interfere with the selection of the 5th respondent on such<\/p>\n
totally inconclusive materials. Therefore, I do not find any merit in this<\/p>\n
original petition and accordingly, the same is dismissed.<\/p>\n
