The petitioner being aggrieved by order dated 07.08.2025 rejecting the issuance of the character certificate has approached this Court by means of the present writ petition. 3.

Be that as it may, the impugned order dated 07.08.2025 is being reproduced herein below:- ्शी ऋषभ पु्ऴ चन््शभूषण िसह िनवासी ्षाम व पोस्ट भुड़कु ड़ा थाना अहरौरा तहसील Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Arvind Kumar Singh Counsel for Respondent(s) : C.S.C.
