The Petitioner had applied for the post of Civil Judge, Junior Division and Judicial Magistrate, First Class. Examination was to be conducted by the Maharashtra Public Service Commission. In the 1st Para of the advertisement, which was to be published by the MPSC , it is stated that the examination for the said post was to be conducted on 29th March 2009. Apart from that the brochure of the MPSC also mentions this date. The grievance of the Petitioner is that she received the hall ticket for the said examination after the examination and, therefore, she could not appear in the examination. Hence the above Petition. 2 2. From the affidavit of the Respondents it is clear that the examination was scheduled on 29th March 2009 and every candidate who had filled in the Application for the said examination and sent the same to the MPSC was knowing the date of examination. If prior to the said date, the hall ticket was not received by the Petitioner, the Petitioner herself should have contacted the MPSC. But by way of abandon precaution the MPSC had also given news in various news papers and copy of one of the papers viz. Sakaal is annexed to the instant Petition wherein it has been informed to the candidates that if they have not received hall tickets, they should contact the MPSC. There is a provision for duplicate hall ticket to be issued under the Rules. Had the Petitioner approached the MPSC in time , she would have got the duplicate hall ticket. 3. We do not find any fault with the Respondents. The Petitioner herself was not cautious enough to guard her interest in the matter of appearing in the examination. The above Petition is therefore rejected. Sd/- sd/- [R.M.SAVANT, J] [S.B.MHASE, J]
