For the Respondents : Mr. Sudhir Kumar Tiwary, C.G.C. ==== 3. 22.03.2010. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the Union of India. 2. From the counter affidavit filed by Group Commandant, Headquarters, Patna, it appears that the request of Petitioner Nos. 1 to 3 for accepting their joining has been conceded and they have been directed to submit their joining in terms of appointment letter dated 16.3.2010, Annexure- R/1 by 20th March, 2010 at C.I.S.F. R.T.C.-I, Deoli, Rajasthan. 3. It is submitted on behalf of Petitioner Nos. 1 to 3 that the aforesaid letter dated 16.3.2010, Annexure-R/1 has been received by them on 20th March, 2010, as such, they could not submit their joining at C.I.S.F., R.T.C.-I, Deoli on 20th March, 2010 and their request for extending the joining time be favourably considered by the Principal, C.I.S.F., R.T.C.-I, Deoli in the light of the contents of paragraph-7 of the letter dated 16.3.2010. 4. Let the Principal, C.I.S,F., R.T.C.-I, Deoli consider the request of - 2 - Petitioner Nos. 1 to 3 for extension of joining time favourably. So far Petitioner No.4 is concerned, it appears from paragraph-3 of the counter affidavit that his joining is not being accepted as his answer-sheet has been forwarded to the Government Examiner of questioned documents, Kolkata as according to learned counsel for the respondents, the answer-sheet which petitioner no.4 is supposed to have written at the time of written examination did not contain the signature of the examiner. There is no allegation that the answer-sheet of Petitioner No.4 was not sealed along with the answer-sheet of other candidates. As such, I am of the view that for failure of the examiner to sign the answer- sheet of the petitioner, petitioner no.4 cannot be held responsible, however, his joining should also be accepted by the authorities of the C.I.S.F., as early as possible, in any case within a period of two months from today subject to verification report of the Government Examiner, Kolkata. 5. The writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
