The defacto complainant in Crime No.6 of 2010 is inimically disposed towards the petitioner’s family and knowing the fact that the petitioner was selected in the police constable recruitment, he was implicated in the second case as afterthought. Though there is no offence attributable against the petitioner, a charge sheet was filed in C.C.No.107 of 2010 on the file of the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Kovur. The petitioner was informed that he would not be considered for training due to pendency of the charge sheet.

The Tribunal by order, dated 15.09.2014 directed the respondent authorities to consider the petitioner’s request for training keeping in view of the acquittal in criminal case. Pursuant to the said order, the petitioner’s case was examined and 2^nd respondent issued speaking order vide Memo in Rc.No.114/R&T/Admin.2/ 2013, dated 22.12.2014 rejecting the request of the petitioner to send him for training. Subsequently, O.A.No.1381 of 2013 was dismissed for default by order, dated 24.06.2016 by the Administrative Tribunal. Seeking to set aside the dismissed for default order, the petitioner filed M.A.No.1675 of 2016 and it was dismissed on 24.10.2017. Thereafter, the Tribunal by its order, dated 24.
