ORDER

This writ petition has been filed seeking a writ of mandamus directing the respondent to consider and pass orders on the petitioner's representation dated 05.05.2017 within a stipulated time.

The petitioner, having participated in the Tamil Nadu Police recruitment process for the post of Police Constable Grade - II in the year 2013, was selected as Police Constable Grade - II and an order of appointment was also issued asking him to report for duty before the Tamil Nadu Special Police VI Battalion, on 17.02.2013.

But, it is stated by the petitioner that during that time, his father was seriously ill and was taking treatment at the Government Hospital, Dharmapuri as in patient and since nobody from his family had come forward to look after his father in the hospital, he had to attend to him, as a result of which, he was unable to join the training.

Therefore, the petitioner has addressed a representation to the respondent on 05.05.2017 with a request to permit him to undergo training in the month of August, 2017. But, till today, no order has been passed. Hence, the present writ petition has been filed seeking the aforestated relief. This Court is not inclined to entertain this writ petition. The reason is when the petitioner was selected as Police Constable Grade - II in the year 2013, he failed to join and keeping quiet for long. For the first time, he has given his representation after almost four years, making a request to permit to participate in the forthcoming training course on the lame excuse that his father was admitted as an in patient in hospital and he had to take care of him. The only document relied upon by him to fortify his stand is the medical certificate dated 20.

03.2013, which simply shows that his father was taking treatment from 10.02.2013 to 20.03.2013 only. Therefore, the reason assigned by the petitioner for not attending the training course is only misconceived. In view of the foregoing reason, this writ petition is dismissed as being devoid of merits. No costs. Sd/- Deputy Registrar /true copy/ Sub Asst.
