BISWANATH SOMADDER,J. - (1.) Let the report in the form of an affidavit filed on behalf of the respondent no. 3, being the Child Development Project Officer, Khoirasole ICDS Projects, District - Birbhum, be kept on record.
(2.) After considering the submissions made by the learned advocates for the parties and upon perusing the instant application as well as the affidavit filed on behalf of the respondent no. 3, it appears that it has been categorically stated by the respondent no. 3 in his affidavit that he has informed the petitioner that if any selected candidate suppressed his/her higher qualification and obtained service, the same would be terminated at any point of time, but no candidate would be terminated unless and until it was proved by evidence that selected candidates obtained job by suppressing their higher qualifications to the concerned authorities. In this regard, the respondent no. 3 has relied on several communications made to the Principals/Head of Institutions of two colleges seeking certain details with regard to the educational qualification of some of the candidates as stated therein. It, however, appears that the respondent no. 3 is yet to receive any response from the college authorities from whom such information was sought for.
(3.) Having regard to the facts and circumstances as stated above, it appears that the respondent no. 3 has already initiated an enquiry in respect of the academic qualification of some candidates, who, according to the writ petitioner, are holders of college degrees. The respondent no. 3 is directed to expedite the process and to ensure that the entire matter is placed before the Selection Committee upon completion of such enquiry so that a final decision may be taken by the said Committee. All enquiries by the respondent no. 3 in this regard shall be completed as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six weeks, but not later than eight weeks from the date of communication of a photostat certified copy of this order and the college authorities from whom information has been sought for are expected to render full cooperation and respond promptly.;
