JUSTICE DEVASHIS BARUAH O R D E R 25.09.2025 None appears on behalf of the petitioner on call. 2. Mr. H. K. Das, the learned Standing Counsel appears on behalf of the Gauhati High Court. 3. The petitioner herein is aggrieved by the order dated 13.10.2023 whereby the petitioner's services as a Grade-IV Peon in the establishment of the District and Sessions Judge, Kokrajhar was terminated from service. The reason for termination was that the petitioner, at the time of appointment, pursuant to the advertisement dated 20.02.2023 did not disclose that the petitioner had passed Class-XII. Subsequently, when it came to light that the petitioner had already passed HSSLC, the petitioner's appointment was terminated by the impugned order dated 13.10.2023. 4. This Court further finds it relevant to take note of that similar issues have already been disposed of by this Court vide the order dated 27.01.2025 in WP(C) No.7532/2023 wherein this Court had categorically held that when the petitioner did not Page No.# 3/3 disclose the fact that the petitioner was overqualified, the appointment of the petitioner was illegal, and as such, the order of termination cannot be said to be illegal. 5. Considering the above, this Court does not find any merit in the instant writ petition, and as such, the writ petition stands dismissed. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
