The text of these averments is quoted below for ready reference: “17. That the applicant submits that the applicant received a letter dated 9.12.2015 from the respondent no.2 from the respondent no.2 stating that the certificate issued to the applicant herein on 30.11.2007 was issued for School competition conducted by Sports Authority of India and hence the applicant herein was not eligible to avail the benefit of Government Resolution dated 6.5.2008. Further it is submitted that the Assistant Director, Sports and Youth Service, Maharashtra State, Pune has completely misconstrued the Government Resolution dated 6.5.2008 and has stated in its letter dated 9.12.2016 that the applicant herein was not eligible for the benefit of Government Resolution dated 6.5.2008 since he had not participated in National Level Competition. However, the Government Resolution dated 6.5.2008 clearly stated that reservation are made applicable for the 6 O.A. No.988 of 2016 sports men who had participated in Rural Competition and have been victorious at First, Second and Third positions at State or National Level Competition. Hence, it can be clearly observed that the Assistant Director, Sports and Youth Service, Maharashtra State, Pune had rejected verification of the certificate issued to the applicant herein without application of mind. 18. That being aggrieved by the rejection of verification of certificate issued to the applicant herein by the Sports Authority of India on 30.11.2007, by the Assistant Director, Sports and Youth Service, Maharashtra State, Pune by its letter dated 9.12.2016 the applicant preferred an appeal to Commissioner, Sports and Youth Service challenging the rejection of verification of certificate issued to the applicant herein by the Sports Authority of India on 30.11.2007. However, the Commissioner, Sports and Youth Service rejected the applicant’s appeal on 7.6.2016 filed for verification of the certificate issued to the applicant herein issued by the Sports Authority of India on 30.11.2007 stating that the applicant was not eligible since he had not participated in National Level Competition.
