10. The respondents relying upon a decision of the Supreme Court passed in Civil Appeal No.3925 of 2019 (Punjab Urban Planning & Development Authority and Another Vs. Karamjit Singh) have submitted that the impugned order is proper and no regular enquiry is necessary because the appointment of the petitioners has been found illegal as it has been obtained by fraud.

District Primary School Council,Wb vs Mritunjoy Das & Ors on 26 July, 2011

14. The respondents have also relied upon a decision of the Supreme Court reported in (2011) 15 SCC 111 parties being District Primary School Council, West Bengal Vs. Mritunjoy Das and others, in which, the Supreme Court has observed that if any appointment is obtained by fraud and show-cause notice issued to them alleging fraud to get the said appointment and opportunity of hearing is also provided to them, then cancellation of that appointment cannot be said to be in violation of principles of natural justice. But, the facts of the present case are not similar to that of the cases upon which the respondents have placed reliance. This Court is also of the opinion that if any appointment is obtained by fraud then such appointment cannot be protected in any manner, but here in this case, considering the existing facts, appointment was made in the year 2010 and surprisingly, only on the basis of some manipulation made by the establishment clerk, ignoring the actual facts and merits of the candidates, even the higher authorities allowed the petitioners to continue for a period of almost 8 years, but no such defect revealed before the authorities and even after regularizing them on the post of Sahayak Adhyapak, Scrutiny Committee has also not considered this aspect. As such, show-cause notice though issued to the petitioners calling their original documents, but still it is not on record that they have been granted opportunity or issued any show-cause notice intimating them as to how they have obtained appointment and what type of fraud was committed, although the actual fraud reveals from the stand taken by the respondents in their reply. Thus, I am of the opinion that proper opportunity has not been granted to the petitioners and the enquiry was conducted behind their back without giving any opportunity of hearing to them to explain their stand. Even before this Court, it is not shown as to what was the cut-off mark secured by the last selected 26 candidate and what marks were secured by the petitioners.
