An Indian Army aspirant has moved the Calcutta High Court after he was allegedly refused a domicile certificate needed to take part in the second phase of the Army recruitment process. He says the refusal was linked to his mother’s name being deleted from the electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR).
Petitioner cites parents’ electoral records
The petitioner told the court that authorities declined to issue the certificate because his mother’s name had been removed from the rolls. He submitted that his father’s name remained on the electoral rolls after the revision.
He also said he had only recently turned 21 and that his own name had not yet been registered under the SIR process. According to his plea, the deletion of his mother’s name had become an obstacle to obtaining the domicile documentation.
Court to consider the plea
The aspirant says the missing certificate has prevented him from proceeding to the second phase of recruitment. He approached the High Court seeking its direction for the certificate so he can continue in the selection process.
Justice Krishna Rao agreed to entertain the petition after hearing the petitioner’s submissions, and the matter was listed for hearing. The court has not yet issued a final decision on the request.
The case concerns the petitioner’s claim that a change in electoral records affected his access to a domicile certificate required for Army recruitment. The issue remains before the Calcutta High Court.
