1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR. O R D E R S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION No.7831/2009. : : Mohd. Ashraf Khan Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. : : Date of Order 10.7.2009 HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Mr. Tanveer Ahmed for the petitioner. This writ petition has been filed aggrieved by rejection of application submitted by petitioner for appointment on the post of Rural Nurse Grade-II. Contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that Joint Director (Administration), Medical & Health Services, Jaipur has wrongly rejected application of petitioner by order dated 6.4.2009. Application is said to have been received on 19.8.2008. Learned counsel submitted that petitioner has sent such application by speed post on 18.8.2008 and if delay occurred on the part of Postal Department, petitioner cannot be held responsible for it. Petitioner is highly talented and sports person and eligible for appointment. 2 Having considered the arguments of learned counsel for the petitioner, I find that petitioner has chosen the Postal Department as his agent to carry the application form and sent it belatedly on 18.8.2008 through Rail Mail Service. Even it was dispatched on 18.8.2008, dispute about rejection of application form on the ground that it was not received on 19.8.2008, is a contentious issue. Postal Department has to be accepted as a agent of petitioner and not the Joint Director (Administration), Medical & Health Services, Jaipur. I, therefore, do not find any merit in the writ petition, which is accordingly dismissed. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ)J. A.Arora/- Item No.81.
