He stood at Serial No. 2 of the merit<\/p>\n<p>                  list.   The person at serial No. 1 did not join.        The<\/p>\n<p>                  respondents dispatched a communication for joining<\/p>\n<p>                  belatedly with an incorrect address. It never reached<\/p>\n<p>                  the petitioner. The person at Serial No. 3 came to be<\/p>\n<p>                  appointed.    The   petitioner    then   filed   this   writ<\/p>\n<p>                  application. The contract of candidate at serial No. 3<\/p>\n<p>                  was not renewed after 3.12.2008. The respondents<\/p>\n<p>                  then published a fresh advertisement on 29.5.2009.<\/p>\n<p>                             Learned counsel for the petitioner submits<\/p>\n<p>                  that the petitioner had disclosed his postal address<\/p>\n<p>                  as village and P.O. Gorakhparasi in the District of<\/p>\n<p>                  Rohtas     (Sasaram).   The      respondents     sent   the<\/p>\n<p>                  communication to him at Karakat, Sasaram.               The<\/p>\n<p>                  Pin Code was wrongly mentioned as 82115 in place<\/p>\n<p>                  of 802214. Additionally the proof of dispatch by<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                     2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>speed post placed by the respondents demonstrates<\/p>\n<p>that it was dispatched on 18.11.2007 and not<\/p>\n<p>8.11.2007 as contended by them. Joining had to be<\/p>\n<p>submitted by 19.11.2007. The person at Serial No. 3<\/p>\n<p>of the merit panel having been wrongly appointed,<\/p>\n<p>there is no justification for not considering the claim<\/p>\n<p>for appointment of the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>            Counsel for the State submitted that the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner had not furnished any Pin Code number<\/p>\n<p>with his details of address. The village Gorakhparasi<\/p>\n<p>to which the petitioner belongs falls within the<\/p>\n<p>Karakat Block. The duration of the appointment was<\/p>\n<p>for 11 months which is long over.            Issues have<\/p>\n<p>therefore become academic and the Court should not<\/p>\n<p>interfere    more       particularly   because   a   fresh<\/p>\n<p>advertisement has been issued on 29.5.2009 and<\/p>\n<p>another incumbent appointed whose services have<\/p>\n<p>also been renewed till August, 2011, but subject to<\/p>\n<p>the result of the writ application.\n<\/p>\n<p>            The petitioner had disclosed the name of<\/p>\n<p>his village with a Post Office situated in that village.<\/p>\n<p>The respondents were required to address the call<\/p>\n<p>letter to him properly.         If the Block consists of<\/p>\n<p>several villages, to merely mention the name of the<\/p>\n<p>Block is enough to conclude that the communication<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                  3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>had not been dispatched at the proper address. The<\/p>\n<p>postman in all likelihood having found the address<\/p>\n<p>incomplete may either have thrown away the letter or<\/p>\n<p>returned it as undelivered to the dispatching station.<\/p>\n<p>The Pin Code of an address is displayed at the Post<\/p>\n<p>Office. The respondents should have been more<\/p>\n<p>careful in mentioning the correct Code specially<\/p>\n<p>when the petitioner had not mentioned any Pin Code<\/p>\n<p>in his address. If the address of dispatch was wrong<\/p>\n<p>and incomplete there shall be a presumption that it<\/p>\n<p>never reached its destination. Additionally, the speed<\/p>\n<p>post dispatch annexed to the counter affidavit makes<\/p>\n<p>it apparent that it was so done on 18.11.2007 and<\/p>\n<p>not 8.11.2007 requiring the petitioner to join on<\/p>\n<p>19.11.2007. The time period cannot be stated to be<\/p>\n<p>reasonable by any standard.\n<\/p>\n<p>         The    appointment     was    to   be   from<\/p>\n<p>19.11.2007 for a period of 11 months. Thereafter<\/p>\n<p>renewal was an inchoate right as the contract may or<\/p>\n<p>may not have been extended dependent on a hoste of<\/p>\n<p>other factors. The writ petition can easily be<\/p>\n<p>dismissed on that ground as the time period for<\/p>\n<p>which the benefit of the appointment may have<\/p>\n<p>flowed is long over. The other option available to the<\/p>\n<p>Court is to grant suitable compensation to the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                     4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>          The Court cannot loose sight of the fact<\/p>\n<p>that the petitioner first represented as early as<\/p>\n<p>January, 2008 well within the period of 11 months.<\/p>\n<p>To deny relief on the aforesaid ground may leave the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner with a lurking sense of injustice for having<\/p>\n<p>been made to suffer for no fault of his.<\/p>\n<p>              In the meantime, the respondents have<\/p>\n<p>published a fresh advertisement on 29.5.2009 and<\/p>\n<p>another incumbent appointed for an extended tenure<\/p>\n<p>till August, 2011. He is not a party to the<\/p>\n<p>proceedings.\n<\/p>\n<p>          The duty of the Court under Article 226 in<\/p>\n<p>appropriate cases is to mould the relief in the<\/p>\n<p>entirety of the facts and circumstances as held in<\/p>\n<p>(1996) 5 SCC 54 ( Shangrila Food Products Ltd. v.<\/p>\n<p>LIC) at Paragraph-11 as follows:-\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>             &#8220;11. It is well settled that the High<br \/>\n          Court in exercise of its jurisdiction<br \/>\n          under Article 226 of the Constitution<br \/>\n          can take cognisance of the entire facts<br \/>\n          and circumstances of the case and pass<br \/>\n          appropriate orders to give the parties<br \/>\n          complete and substantial justice. This<br \/>\n          jurisdiction of the High Court, being<br \/>\n          extraordinary, is normally exercisable<br \/>\n          keeping in mind the principles of<br \/>\n          equity. One of the ends of the equity is<br \/>\n          to promote honesty and fair play. If<br \/>\n          there be any unfair advantage gained<br \/>\n          by a party priorly, before invoking the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                             5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                    jurisdiction of the High Court, the Court<br \/>\n                    can take into account the unfair<br \/>\n                    advantage gained and can require the<br \/>\n                    party to shed the unfair gain before<br \/>\n                    granting relief&#8230;&#8230;&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>                The relief therefore is required to be moulded in<\/p>\n<p>           the facts of the case. The present incumbent has an<\/p>\n<p>           extended tenure till August, 2011.       His original<\/p>\n<p>           tenure of 11 months has already expired. The right<\/p>\n<p>           in him is therefore inchoate and not vested.      The<\/p>\n<p>           Court therefore directs that on expiry of his extended<\/p>\n<p>           tenure, the petitioner shall be given the contract<\/p>\n<p>           appointment for a period of 11 months only.       The<\/p>\n<p>           petitioner by virtue of the present order shall not<\/p>\n<p>           have any vested right to continue after the period of<\/p>\n<p>           11 months. That is the period he would have had if<\/p>\n<p>           he had joined in due time after receipt of his<\/p>\n<p>           appointment letter.    Thereafter the matter shall<\/p>\n<p>           remain within the discretion of the respondents in<\/p>\n<p>           accordance with the terms of the contract.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>                    The writ application stands allowed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<pre>P.
