BY ADV. SRI. ALEXANDER THOMAS, SC FOF R1 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 28557 OF 2008 Y = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 25th day of September 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner complains that she had sent an application for the post of HSA (Malayalam) in Alleppey District when the vacancy was notified by the 1st respondent. According to the petitioner, though the written test is scheduled to be held on 27.9.2008, hall ticket has not been received so far. Complaining of non-receipt of the hall ticket, though the petitioner submitted Ext. P1 representation, there was no response. 2. Standing Counsel for the 1st respondent, on instructions, submits that the last date for receipt of the application was 18.7.2007 and that the petitioner's application was received only on 20.7.2007. It is stated that the application was rejected for delayed receipt. Learned counsel also points out that the correctness of rejection of an application in such circumstances has been upheld by a Division Bench of this Court in Binimil K.G. v. W.P.(C) No. 28557 OF 2008 -2- K.P.S.C. {1997(2) KLJ 477}. In so far as Ext. P1 representation is concerned, it is pointed out that the same has been received only yesterday. 3. From the submissions made, I have no reason to disbelieve the correctness of what is stated by the respondents. Since the application has been received belatedly, they are perfectly justified in rejecting the same. In view of this, I am not persuaded to entertain this writ petition. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
