In this writ petition, the petitioners have prayed for a direction on the respondents to consider them for their appointments on the post of Police Constables in Indian Reserve Battalion-5, Gumla. The claim of the petitioners is that they were declared successful for their selection after passing through the physical test and other tests prescribed for the selection. The petitioners were also issued call letters, but in spite of their due selection, they have not been appointed till date.

A counter affidavit has been filed by the respondents stating, inter alia, that the petitioners were initially selected for consideration of their appointments by the Selection Committee and call letters were issued to the petitioners. The said selection was subject to the physical verification and the verification of educational and other certificates. The call letters were sent to them with the conditions that the candidates have to produce their certificates and have to appear for their physical verification and their appointments and joining shall be subject to the said verification. The respondents, accordingly, appeared for their verification after receiving the call letters. On
