Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents. 2. This is a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India wherein the writ petitioner has prayed for the following substantial reliefs: "i) issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of certiorari quashing the rejection of request of petitioner for issuance of character certificate dated 17/2/2025 by the respondent No.2. (Annexure No.2 to this writ petition) ii) issue a writ order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent No.2 to issue a character certificate to the petitioner." 3. Upon perusal of the documents available on record and upon hearing counsel appearing on behalf of the parties, we are of the view that since the chargesheet has not been filed against the petitioner till date and the offence under the FIR has been registered is minor offence, the authority concerned should re- consider the case of the petitioner sympathetically and issue character certificate to the petitioner, in accordance with law. 4. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. Order Date :- 19.3.2025 Kuldeep (Kshitij Shailendra, J.) (Shekhar B. Saraf, J.)
