SATISH KHANDU PATIL AND OTHERS Vs THE UNION OF INDIA THROUGH MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS AND OTHERS
Hey folks! Big news from the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench. Students who applied for constable and rifleman positions in 2023 can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The court has ordered that their results be declared soon. Let’s break down what happened.
The main folks involved here are students like Satish Khandu Patil, Nitin Dhanraj Mhaske, and others. They applied for jobs as constables and riflemen in various forces like the BSF and CRPF. These students did everything right—they passed the exams, cleared physical tests, and even aced the medical exams.
So, what’s the issue? The problem started during document verification. Their fingerprint or face scan details didn’t match the records. But here’s the kicker—they were still allowed to take the medical tests and passed them!
"Even after they tried checking the biometrics again, the mismatch was still there."
The students argued that the mismatch wasn’t their fault. They’ve been waiting forever for a forensic report to clear things up. Meanwhile, other candidates already got their results back in December 2024.
The court, with Judges Hiten S. Venegavkar and Vibha Kankanwadi, looked at similar cases from the Nagpur Bench. Those candidates had the same problem and the court ruled in their favor.
"The authorities are not right in holding back the results."
The court has now ordered that Satish Khandu Patil, Nitin Dhanraj Mhaske, and the other students' results be declared within four weeks. This means they can finally move on to the next steps, like training.
Satish, Nitin, and their fellow applicants are now waiting for their results to be published so they can join the training program. It’s a big win for them and a lesson in perseverance.
