Appellant/petitioner's name was included in the supplementary list of Ezhava for the post of Lecturer in Physical Education. In Ext.P5, it was stated that the date and place of interview will be intimated in due course. The interview was fixed on 2.2.2007. Select list was published as early as on 26.12.2006. Notice was sent by ordinary post. The date of interview was published in all newspapers in the Kerala State. But, according to the petitioner, she did not receive the notice sent by ordinary post and she knew about the interview only subsequently. Learned single Judge noticed that lakhs and lakhs of employees are applying to the Public Service Commission and it is not practically possible to send notice by registered post to all candidates. Earlier, a Division Bench of this court in K.P.S.C. v. Aruna.R. & Ors. (1997 (1) K.L.J. 143) held that it is enough that advice memo need be sent by ordinary post . The persons who were in the select list also should be careful and they should also check whether interview is fixed. Here, the matter is published in all the newspapers. According to the Public Service Commission, if any indulgence is shown to the petitioner, W.A.908/2008 2 it will become a precedence in many of such cases. Learned single Judge dismissed the case on 11.4.2007 and appeal was moved only on 21.5.2008 and since selection was over, if any indulgence is shown to the petitioner, it will upset the apple cart. In these circumstances, we fully agree with the learned Single Judge. The appeal is dismissed. J.B.KOSHY JUDGE P.N.RAVINDRAN JUDGE tks
