But due to misfortune he fell ill. It is stated that the first respondent addressed a letter on 06-5-2009 to the third respondent duly enclosing the selection list wherein his name is figured at serial No.1 in the selection list.

Thereafter, he suffered from Amebosis and took treatment from 2009 to 2010 and he filed medical certificate in proof thereof. It is further stated that after recovery from illness, he approached the third respondent and he was orally informed that his case will be considered. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was selected on 06-05-2009, since he could not report to duty in time due to his prolonged illness and that there was lapse on the part of the petitioner. However, it is for the respondent-corporation to consider the case of the petitioner, in the event if he makes any representation. 5. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioner to make a representation afresh to the second respondent within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and thereafter it is open for the respondents to examine the case of the petitioner and pass appropriate order in accordance with law, within a period of four weeks, thereafter. 6.
