"19. The said fact surprised the Court also as to why and under what circumstances, the documents were accepted by the respondent without verifying the signature on the same. Once the documents have been submitted by the petitioner in support of her candidature, which were duly signed except the Experience Certificate (at Page No.41 of the original record), why have the respondents accepted the same, which shows the mala-fide intention of the respondents. Even in the counter affidavit filed by the respondents, not a word has been whispered about the same
20. In view of the facts and circumstance of case, the impugned order dated 04.07.2019 cannot sustain in the eye of law and the same is hereby quashed. 21. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed. The matter is remanded to the authority concerned only to verify as under. 22. A mandamus is issued to the respondent no.3 to verify the Experience Certificate, copy of which has been annexed as Annexure No.4, at Page Nos. 51 & 52 of the present writ petition from the institution of its issuance within one month from today.
