Dear Sirs,
I had joined Odisha Police in 2001 as Sub Inspector and resigned in 2010. As per Police Manual Rule (PMR) DIG is the competent authority for appointment of SI. So i was issued appointment letter signed by DIG of Police. Further DIG is the authority to accept the resignation of SI. so accordingly i applied DIG for resignation and DIG had ordered to accept my resignation after receipt of no due certificate. and i was issued a letter stating that after receipt of No due certificate from me i am discharged from service. signed by SP. there are two questions 1. letter signed by SP as discharge letter is authenticate or not ? as i was given appointment letter signed by DIG i was supposed to be issued discharge certificate signed by DIG ?
2. the discharge certificate has spelling mistake of my surname it should be MOHANTA and written as MAHANTA ?
can i take shelter in court or State tribunal to rejoin on the above grounds?

DIG had already authorized SP to issue the desired letter which was duly issued by him and the spelling mistake has no bearing in the eyes of law and you are not going to suffer any loss due to this minor c=typographic error.
