Allowed, subject to all just exceptions.

Application stands disposed of.

W.P.(C) 4600/2026 3.

Through the present writ petition, the Petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 22.01.2026 (hereafter 'impugned order') passed by the competent authority whereby the services of the Petitioner had been dispensed with as he was found to have obtained appointment on the basis of a fake experience certificate allegedly issued by Water Management and Plumbing Skill Council ('WMPSC'), Unit-606 & 609, Tower-C, DLF Prime Towers, Okhla Industrial Area, Phase-1, New Delhi.

4.

The Petitioner was provisionally enrolled as Constable (Water Carrier) in the BSF. On verification, it was found that the WMPSC The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

never issued the aforesaid experience certificate to the Petitioner. Consequently, after giving show cause notice to the Petitioner, the impugned order was passed.

5.

The only submission made by the learned counsel representing the Petitioner is that certain other candidates, who displayed a similar conduct, have been retained in service.

6.

This Court has taken note of the stance taken on behalf of the Petitioner. Pertinently, the learned counsel representing the Petitioner does not dispute that the certificate is fake. Even if the stance of the Petitioner is taken at the highest, the right to equality as enshrined under Article 14 of the Constitution of India cannot be claimed to compound illegality. The duty of this Court is not to replicate but to correct errors. The argument as pressed by the Petitioner, thus, cannot be countenanced.

7.

Hence, no ground is made to warrant exercise of writ jurisdiction by this Court.

8.

The present petition is accordingly dismissed. ANIL KSHETARPAL, J AMIT MAHAJAN, J APRIL 8, 2026 DU The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above. The Order is downloaded from the DHC Server on 10/04/2026 at 12:21:45
