(1.) Petitioners applied for appointment to the post of Ayurvedic Pharmacist pursuant to an advertisement published on 03. 06. 2014. This advertisement categorically specified that applications be got received in the concerned office by 15. 06. 2014. Petitioners submit that they send their applications through registered speed post between 04. 06. 2014 to 10. 06. 2014 and the applications were also received in the Directorate of Medical Services. It appears that similar advertisement were published by different departments and, therefore, the department of post inadvertently send petitioners' applications to Director, Medical Health instead of Director, Ayurvedic Services. It was for this reason that petitioners' application were not entertained on merits. Petitioners consequently approached this Court by filing Writ Petition No. 53055 of 2014, which came to be disposed of vide following orders were passed on 26. 09. 2014:-
