I received a letter on 10/07/13 by ordinary post from a government department asking me to appear a board on 09/07/13. The postal seal clearly shows that it was delivered to me only on 10/07/13.
The department is not ready to constitute the board again and is blaming the postal service for late delivery.
a) So, in this situation, isn't it the responsibility of the sender to ensure the prompt delivery?
b) If its the delay from postal service, isn't it the sender to enquire and file complaint against them?
c) in simple logic, Is sender legally responsible to ensure the prompt delivery of such letters to the receipients? Is it legally mandatory using registered postal service in such situations?
d) Can I take any legal action against the department not constituting the board again showing non appearance as my fault?
