Court No. - 58
Case :- WRIT - A No. - 17605 of 2018 Petitioner :- Pankaj Yadav Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 4 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Akhilesh Singh,Madhuker Kushwaha Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.
Hon'ble Ashwani Kumar Mishra,J.
Petitioner had applied for appointment to the post of Constable in U.P. Police pursuant to the recruitment exercise initiated in the year 2015. Petitioner's claim has not been considered in OBC category, as the OBC certificate issued on 02.09.2013 has been relied upon.
Perusal of the record would go to show that in terms of the advertisement issued, an OBC candidate had to annex OBC certificate issued between 01.04.2015 and 17.02.2016. It is also stated that unless certificate of this period is annexed in prescribed format, the same shall not be taken note of.
The Full Bench of this Court in Gaurav Sharma Vs. State of U.P. and Others reported in (FB) 2017 (5) ADJ 494 has held that the terms of the advertisement are clearly binding. Since the petitioner has failed to produce OBC certificate of the specified period, as was mandatorily required in the advertisement, no exception can be taken.
The writ petition is dismissed, accordingly.
