Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Dec-02-1996

Reported in: (1997)1UPLBEC82

M. Katju and B.S. Chauhan, JJ.1. The petitioner's application for appearing in the examination of U. P. Public Service Commission was rejected by the Commission on 1-11-1996 on the ground that he did not fill in his date of birth. Learned counsel for the petitioner firstly submitted that the petitioner should have been given an opportunity of hearing before passing the order. We do not agree with this contention at all. It is not a quasi-judicial order which has been passed by the respondent. Also, rules of natural justice, are not a start jacket formula. Learned counsel for the petitioner then submitted that the commission had acted arbitrarily. We do not agree with this contention also. It is rather the petitioner who had acted arbitrarily and carelessly in not filling the form properly. It was his duty to have properly filled in the form and he has only himself to blame if he did not do so. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the mistake was bona fide. That may be so, ...

Therefore, the said order should be set aside.2. Mr. S. K. Roy holding, the brief of Mr. Triloki Nath counsel for the respondents, on the other hand, took a preliminary objection that the writ petition is not maintainable on the ground that the Society with which the petitioners claim to have been engaged is a Co-operetive Society and not a State within the meaning of Article 72 of the Constitution of India. His second ground of attack to the maintainebility of the writ petition is that the service or the petitioners was not governed by any statutory rules and, therefore, while terminating the service the order that was passed by the Society is not a function in discharge of public duty ...
