The corporation is a public sector undertaking. When it undertakes direct recruitment, it should be very cautious and careful. If, for any reason, the process of direct recruitment is faulted or vitiated, the candidate who was selected by it and who joined the service will get caught in the cross-fire. A direct recruit candidate cannot be reverted back to any other lower post. He is normally picked up, while competing with the other candidates, from the open market. Therefore, for any reason, the process of direct recruitment is found fault with, then, he will have to be sent out of the service of the Corporation altogther, but cannot be reverted. Same would be the prospect even in case of an internal candidate. An internal candidate offered his candidature only because he satisfied the recruitment criteria in all respects including the upper age limit. He is required to compete with the candidates drawn from the open market. For all practical purposes, he is standing at par with the candidate drawn from the open market. If, for any reason, when the direct recruitment process fails, he will have to be terminated from the employment of the Corporation like any other candidate drawn from the open market. Therefore, keeping this grave consequence in mind, the Corporation would regulate its affairs properly and carefully from now on. Accordingly, a declaration is issued that the principle of reservation in favour of various social sectors segments in so far as single cadre posts is impermissible and it will be violative of the concept of equality enshrined under Articles 14 & 16 of our Constitution. The Corporation would accordingly regulate the entire exercise.

The believability depends on the nature of explanation offered. In the instant case, the explanation pivots on Ex.D.2 document. Had this vital piece of evidence was not in the custody and reach of AO till it was produced in Court, no inference of manipulation can be drawn against AO, however it was admittedly said to be in his own custody and still it was not produced at the earliest point of time without any plausible reason. In such an event, the genuinity of Ex.D.2 cannot be accepted. Further, Ex.D.2 appears on a small piece of paper and contents appear to be typewritten in English and thereunder it is mentioned in the handwriting of PW.1 as itlu mee videyulu and beneath it, his signature and date as 16.02.2001 and within brackets Contractor are written. When PW.1 is an educated person, there is no reason why he did not write the contents of the receipt also in his handwriting. So the appearance of Ex.D.2 also throws doubt. 11) So on a conspectus of the facts, circumstances and evidence relating to Ex.D.2, no reliance can be placed on Ex.D.2. The cited decisions will not advance the cause of A.O. Therefore, it must be said that AO failed to rebut the presumption through the explanation offered by him. The trial court rightly convicted and sentenced him for the offences under Section 7 and 13 (1)(d) r/w 13(2) of P.C. Act and I find no merits in the appeal to set aside the judgment of the trial Court.
