BINI PRADEEP Digitally signed by BINI PRADEEP Date: 2025.02.17 11:45:36 +0530 2 10.3 The Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to direct the respondents to give the five bonus marks to the petitioner in the certificate of below poverty line as (Annexure P-5) and consider the claim of petitioner for employment under the OBC category for the post of peon. 10.4 That, the Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to grant any other relief, as if may deem fit and appropriate. 10.5 Cost of the petition may also be given. 3. Facts of the case, in brief are that, in pursuance of advertisement dated 02.6.2012 published by respondent authorities for appointment on the post of contingency paid employees, the petitioner submitted application for the post of Peon under the Category of OBC along with all requisite documents. Despite that, the petitioner has not been appointed on the said post and his representation filed in this regard has also been rejected vide impugned order dated 05.11.2019 (Annexure-P/1). 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in pursuance of aforesaid advertisement, communication dated 04.10.2014 (Annexure-P/4) was made to the petitioner to submit original ration card and BPL Survey List. Thereafter, the petitioner has submitted photocopy of the original ration card and BPL Survey list. Despite that, he has not been granted 05 marks as bonus, whereas, the petitioner was very well covered under the poverty line. He would further submit that the petitioner has submitted all the required documents, but, he has been deprived from providing employment, therefore, relief(s) sought for by the petitioner may be granted to him. 5. The State has filed its reply. Learned counsel for the State while referring to its reply would submit that, when the petitioner filed application (Annexure-P/3) in pursuance of the advertisement, he had not filed necessary 3 documents, particularly original ration card and certificate of below poverty line. Therefore, communication was made to the petitioner on 04.10.2014 vide Annexure P/4 to submit original ration card and BPL list. Despite that, the petitioner failed to submit original ration card, rather he submitted only certificate of below poverty line vide Annexure-P/6. Therefore, five marks as bonus was not granted to him. The petitioner did not submit original ration card despite repeated communication, hence, this petition is liable to be dismissed. 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 7. As per the advertisement (Annexure-P/2), bonus marks were to be granted to the persons having their names in the latest BPL list. Perusal of the application filed by the petitioner (Annexure-P/3) shows that he had annexed BPL certificate and other documents along with his application. But in the BPL Certificate it has not been mentioned that said certificate pertains to which year. As per Annexure-P/4, the petitioner was informed many times for submission of his original ration card and BPL Survey list 1997. In response to Annexure P/4, the petitioner had submitted photo copy of his original ration card vide Annexure P/6 on 08.10.2014. He did not submit his original ration card despite instruction given by the respondent authorities. Though vide Annexure-P/6, the petitioner has stated that he submitted BPL certificate, but the year to which the certificate relates is not mentioned therein. Thus, it is found that necessary documents required for grant of 05 bonus marks were not submitted by the petitioner, therefore, he was not granted 05 marks as bonus. 4 8. Thus, since the petitioner did not deposit required documents for getting 05 bonus marks, therefore, not granting him said bonus marks by the respondent authorities, is not found to be illegal, as such, I do not find any merit in the instant petition, hence, the same is accordingly dismissed at the motion stage.
