Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:47678 Court No. - 4 Case :- WRIT - A No. - 1956 of 2025 Petitioner :- Shasheekant Rajpoot Respondent :- State of U.P. and Another Counsel for Petitioner :- Neelabh Srivastava,Om Prakash Tripathi Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Ajit Kumar,J. 1. Heard Sri Om Prakash Tripathi, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the State. 2. Learned Standing Counsel has obtained instruction which is taken on record. 3. As per instructions, under the advertisement in question, a candidate was required to possess caste certificate issued between 01.04.2023 and 16.01.2024 only and since the petitioner could not file any caste certificate of the relevant period, his candidature was not considered. 4. Meeting the queries to the observations made in my order dated 24.02.2025, learned Standing Counsel submits that the caste certificate is always available online provided it has previously been issued from the Tehsil concerned as it is entered in the computer records and therefore, this plea cannot be permitted to be taken by the petitioner that he was not issued with another caste certificate. 5. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that a copy of caste certificate if is available on official website and it is duly issued by the Tehsildar concerned online, then such caste certificate of the petitioner is the only caste certificate required to be furnished as per the advertisement. 6. Upon a pointed query being made, learned counsel for the petitioner could not demonstrate before the Court that he had ever applied for online caste certificate after the advertisement was issued and that he was denied copy thereof. It also transpires that the selection process of the Recruitment, 2023 in the police services for the post of Constable and Head Constable has finally concluded and final results have been declared on 15.03.2025. 7. In such view of the matter, I decline to grant indulgence in the matter. 8. Petition fails and is, accordingly, dismissed.
