Recruitment Board calls for certificate verification from the successful candidates, the petitioner took part in the certificate verification held on 24.07.2017 and produced all his certificates. Since, the University has not issued B.Ed. certificate, the petitioner was granted time to produce the same. After obtaining B.Ed. Degree certificate, the petitioner requested the respondent to give a chance to participate in the certificate verification. Since the petitioner's request was not considered, he sent a representation on 19.10.2017 by registered post to the respondent seeking one more opportunity to participate in the certificate verification to produce B.Ed. certificate for verification. This has not been considered. Therefore, the petitioner is before this Court seeking a direction to consider his representation.
