JAGMOHAN BANSAL, J. (ORAL)

1. The petitioner through instant petition under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India is seeking setting aside of orders

dated 25.10.2018 and 14.11.2018 whereby his seniority was altered.

2. This is second round of litigation. The petitioner pursuant to advertisement No.5 of 2008 applied for the post of Sub Inspector under General Category. He cleared written as well as physical test. He was declared successful by Recruitment Board. He was offered appointment letter on 07.10.2011. All the successful candidates except petitioner were offered appointment letter in October’ 2010. The petitioner denied appointment on account of his involvement in a criminal case. It is apt to mention here that he was acquitted in criminal case prior to declaration of result and he had duly disclosed factum of criminal case in the application form. He preferred CWP-2928-2011
