ASHWARYA PAL SINGH Vs. STATE OF U.P.

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Maurya for the Board.

(2.) IT is submitted that the petitioner is a selected candidate and it would be unreasonable to deny him the benefit of extension of the period for joining for which he has prayed in his application. The petitioner contends that he is still ready to join and that the impugned order dated 15.10.2009 deserves to be set aside.

(3.) I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the Board and perused the rules. The same provides that the proforma as provided under Appendix E has to be filled up by the management and the letter of appointment has to be issued with an intimation to the candidate to join within a period of 15 days or within such extended time as may be allowed him by the management in the institution. It is the admitted position that the petitioner had been unable to join on account of his family circumstances. He has further prayed for six months time to join the institution. The Court does not find any valid reason except a bald and vague averment of family circumstances so as to justify further extension of time. Further the time earlier provided has to be reasonably construed.
