(1). This appeal is directed against the judgment and order dated 27th September, 2005 passed by a learned Judge of this Court whereby and whereunder the said learned Judge finally disposed of the writ petition on merits and granted relief to the writ petitioner following the earlier Division Bench Judgment dated 23rd November, 2004 passed in the case of Rudra Pratap Singh v. Damodar Valley Corporation and Ors. and also following another judgment of the learned Single Bench of this Court in the case of Smt. Ballari Sarkar wherein the identical issues were raised. As a matter of fact, this Bench had the occasion to decide the identical issues in the earlier judgment dated 28th July, 2009 passed in F.M.A. No. 2528 of 2005 (Damodar Valley Corporation and Ors. v. Smt. Ballari Sarkar).

(2). Undisputedly, the respondent/writ petitioner herein along with the said Smt. Ballari Sarkar applied for the post of Labour Welfare Officer and both Smt. Ballari Sarkar and the respondent/writ petitioner herein were initially absorbed as trainees by the appellants herein. Subsequently, the departmental proceedings were initiated against both on the identical grounds, that is, concealment of the qualification for the post in question and also for making false declaration.

(3). This Court, in the case of Smt. Ballari Sarkar, discussed in details all the issues now raised in this appeal and rejected the contentions of the appellants herein. Unfortunately, even thereafter, the appellants decided to pursue the present appeal after loosing the battle on the identical grounds in the case of Smt. Ballari Sarkar (supra) and Rudra Pratap Singh (supra). It has been alleged on behalf of the appellants-Corporation that like Smt. Ballari Sarkar and Rudra Pratap Singh, the respondent/writ petitioner herein did not have the requisite qualification for the job in question, that is, Management Trainees of the appellant-Corporation since the respondent/writ petitioner had one year diploma certificate in lieu of requisite full time diploma in Labour and Social Welfare.

(4). Going through the records, it appears that the respondent/writ petitioner fairly disclosed his qualifications together with supporting documents and certificates and thus never made any mis-representation to the employer, namely, the appellants-Damodar Valley Corporation.

(5). In the advertisement also the appellants made it clear that the Corporation reserves the right to modify the qualification and experience. Since the Corporation retained the aforesaid power to modify the qualification and experience in respect of the applicants, the respondent / writ petitioner like others applied for the said post of Management Trainees with the expectation that competent authority of the Corporation may relax the qualification criteria.

(6). The appellants herein allowed the respondent/writ petitioner in appear at the preliminary written examination after scrutinizing the original certificates produced by the said writ petitioner in support of his age, educational qualification and experience, etc. The respondent/writ petitioner duly appeared at the said preliminary written examination and was declared successful. The competent authority of the appellants thereafter asked the writ petitioner to appear at the interview when the competent authority of the respondent-Corporation, namely, the Deputy Director Personnel (RNT) of the appellant-Corporation again scrutinized all the original testimonials submitted by the respondent/writ petitioner. The said original certificates were further produced before the members of Interview Board by the respondent/writ petitioner at the time of interview. Scrutinizing those certificates and also assessing the performance of the respondent/writ petitioner. Selection Committee recommended for appointment of the respondent/writ petitioner along with other successful candidates. The respondent/writ petitioner was also required to bring certificates and documents in
