IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.7632 of 2011 1. Vinay Kumar 2. Vinit Kumar BOTH SONS OF SRI SOUPHENDRA KUMAR @ SOUPHENDRA SAW RESIDENT OF MAHAVIR LANE, GANDHI CHOWK, P.S. SULTANGANJ, PATNA. Versus 1. The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Board, Patna through its Chairman 2. THE CONTROLLER OF EXAMINATION, BIHAR COMBIND ENTRANCE COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION BOARD, PATNA. 3. THE CHIEF POST MASTER, G.P.O. PATNA. ---------------------------------- 2 10/08/2011 From perusal of annexure-1 it is evident that there was reason for the respondent Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board, Patna not to accept the application of the petitioner since it was delivered after the cut off date. This aspect is not in dispute. To that extent the Board cannot be held responsible. If the dispatch was well in time and there was failure on the part of the Postal Department to deliver the application of the petitioner late, it could be a very good reason for the Consumer Court to decide and for award of suitable compensation. No relief, however, can be granted in this writ application under Article 226 of the Constitution of India against the Board in the - 2 - above stated circumstance. This writ application is disposed of with the liberty as above. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
