¶11

The petitioner being aggrieved by order rejecting the online application of the petitioner for issuance of the character certificate has approached this Court by means of the present writ petition.

¶12

Challenging the aforesaid order, learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that impugned order is cryptic and has been passed without application of mind inasmuch as it has failed to consider the guidelines laid down by this Court in bunch of writ petitions leading of which is Writ-C No.718 of 2025 (Anil Kumar Vs. State of U.P. Thru. Addl. Chief Secy. Deptt. Of Home Lko. & Others) . Accordingly, it is submitted that the impugned order cannot be sustained in law.

¶13

Per contra, learned Chief Standing Counsel would contend that while rejecting the character certificate, cogent reason has been recorded by the competent authority, and therefore, there is no illegality in the order rejecting the online application of the petitioner.

¶14

Be that as it may, relevant extract of the the impugned order is being reproduced herein below:-
