3. The Petitioner has applied for the post of Grade II Police Constable, Grade -II Jail Warders and Fireman in the Tamil Nadu Uniformed Services Recruitment Board during the recruitment held on 2019. The Petitioner was not considered for selection by the respondents. According to the respondents, the respondents have rejected the selection on the ground that the petitioner has suppressed the fact that he was involved in Crime.No.170 of 2017 registered for the offences under Sections 279, 337 IPC, in the application form.

Again, the respondents have rejected the claim of the petitioner on the ground that the petitioner has suppressed the said material facts.

The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that the 3rd respondent has to consider the case of the petitioner in the light of the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Avthar's singh case and decision of the Division Bench of this Court in W.A(MD)No.3877 of 2019, dated 13.11.2019.

5. In view of the fact that the petitioner has suppressed the material facts relating to the case in Crime.No.170 of 2017 registered for the offences under Sections 279, 337 IPC, this Court is not inclined to accept the contention of the petitioner. However, it is open to the respondent to consider if any application submitted by the petitioner in the fresh notification called for by the respondents.
