Raghib Ahsan, Sharad Kr. Sinha, Advocates ----------- 02. 24.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the Union of India. 2. Petitioner was applicant for the post of Constable(GD) in the CRPF. He appeared in the selection process, became successful in the physical/written examination and was called for detailed medical examination under letter dated 27.5.2010, Annexure-2 asking him to appear at Composite Hospital, Jhapahan, Muzaffarpur on 8.6.2010 at 8.00 hours. 3. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that letter dated 27.5.2010, Annexure-2 was received by him on 10.6.2010, as such, he could not appear in the medical examination held on 8.6.2010. No sooner petitioner received letter dated 2 27.5.2010 on 10.6.2008 he rushed to Muzaffarpur and approached the authorities of the CRPF with a request to consider him for medical examination on any subsequent date as on account of postal vagaries he could not receive letter dated 27.5.2010 in time to appear in the medical test held on 8.6.2010. The authorities, however under letter dated 27.7.2010, Annexure-6 to the Interlocutory Application No.7072 of 2010 has chosen to reject the request of the petitioner observing that petitioner may take the chance in the next selection. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that meanwhile petitioner has crossed the maximum age limit for appointment in the CRPF and if he has to appear in the next selection test his application may be rejected on the ground that he has become over age. 4. The letter dated 27.5.2010 asking the petitioner to appear in the medical examination on 8.6.2010 was received by him on 10.6.2010 as also the fact that petitioner has since become over age in view of his age indicated in his matriculation certificate dated 31.3.1987, Annexure-1, I direct the DIGP, CRPF, Group Centre Muzaffarpur to fix another date for his medical examination, which is convenient to him within three weeks from the date 3 of receipt/production of this order before the DIGP, CRPF. It goes without saying that if petitioner becomes successful in the medical examination, his case be considered for appointment on the post of Constable(GD) in accordance with law. 5. The writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. Rajesh/ ( V. N. Sinha, J.)
