Petitioner was applicant for appointment on the post of Constable in the CRPF. His candidature was rejected on medical grounds as would appear from intimation dated 17.1.2010 contained in Anexure-3 to this application. Perusal of Annexure-3 would indicate that his foot is flat. Petitioner, however, disputes the fact that his foot is flat and in support of such fact is relying on medical fitness certificate dated 23.1.2010 granted by Dr. Harish Chandra Khare, the Deputy Superintendent, Sadar Hospital, Buxar. In the light of the findings of Dr. Khare contained in certificate dated 23.1.2010 petitioner filed appeal for his examination by the Review Medical Board. In response to the request made in appeal petitioner was intimated under letter 2 dated 3.2.2010 to appear before the Review Medical Board on 18.2.2010.

When intimation dated 3.2.2010 was received by the father of the petitioner on 18.2.2010 petitioner was at Patna and the copy of the intimation dated 3.2.2010 was transmitted to him through fax and such submission has been made in paragraph-7 of the writ application, whereafter petitioner made attempts to appear before the authorities of the CRPF on 18.2.2010 with the fax copy of intimation dated 3.2.2010 but his appearance was not accepted and petitioner handed over the representation dated 18.2.2010 to the Sentri posted at the Group Centre, Muzaffarpur, copy of the representation dated 18.2.2010 is contained in Annexure-5 to this application. 3.
