The petitioner after being declared successful in the recruitment for the post of CT/GD in the CRPF subject to being found medically fit, was declared unfit by the Medical officer of the Recruitment Board which was communicated to him by order dated 11.1.2011 and in terms of the said order the petitioner was permitted to file an appeal within fifteen days after complying with certain requirements for being sent to the review Medical Board which he did well within 2 time by filing an appeal along with the relevant documents on 20.1.2011 sending the same by speed post. The grievance of the petitioner is that till date he has not been sent to the review Medical Board. Learned Assistant Solicitor General on instruction informs that the case of the petitioner has not been considered fit for sending before the review medical Board for the reason that the appeal filed by him reached on 31st January, 2011 which was beyond the time of 15 days provided by the rejection letter dated 11.1.2011. It is evident that the petitioner had sent his appeal through speed post of Indian Postal Department well within time and in the normal course the same ought to have reached the respondent-authorities even within the period of fifteen days provided for filing the appeal. The postal receipt is also annexed with the writ petition.
