CWP No.18984 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Civil Writ Petition No.18984 of 2011 Date of decision: 5.10.2011 Tajinder Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab & others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Rajesh Narang, Advocate for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J (oral). The petitioner seeks a writ in the nature of mandamus praying that a direction be issued to the respondents to hold fresh written examination for 855 posts of clerk for selection, to which examination was conducted by Subordinate Selection Board, Punjab on 1st October, 2011. Learned counsel submits that Admit Card, Annexure P-4, was received by the petitioner in which complete address of the venue of examination was not mentioned. The petitioner was, thus, not able to reach in time and could not appear for the examination. He further submits that in light of same, the selection deserves to be quashed and examination be held afresh. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and given careful thought to the facts of the case. A perusal of Provisional Admit Card, Annexure P-4, shows CWP No.18984 of 2011 2 that examination venue is mentioned therein as 'Ferozepur College of Engg. & Technology, Ferozepur'. Admittedly, petitioner later down loaded complete address of the said college from the internet, Annexure P-6. It is, thus, evident that the address given in the Admit Card was sufficient for the candidate to find out the location of said college and reach the examination centre well in time. It appears that there has been negligence on the part of the petitioner himself. Thus, there is no merit in this writ petition and is hereby dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE 5.10.2011 'rajpal'
