1. Since the appointment letter mandates that you report for duty by no later than 31st October yon were bound to act in accordance with it.

2. You applied for extension of joining period before 31st October 2014

3. In such facts and circumstances it is entirely at the discretion of CRPF to allow or disallow you from joining after 31st October. If the reasoning articulated in the letter by you wherein you sought extension is genuine, rejection of your request by CRPF can be challenged by you in the High Court. The High Court can allow you to join after the expiry of the time limit mentioned in the appointment letter issued by CRPF.

If they will find your rains for delay in joining reasonable enough, they might allow your late joining. However they will not remain at your mercy thinking that you might keep extending the joining date. It is advisable to speak to the appointing authority in person and explain your situation.

1. It is to be decided solely by the CRPF authority whether they will accept your application for extenion of the joining date,

2. Though they are not legally bound to extend your joining date, normally and prudentially they should accept your request for the said extension to save their administrative cost for recruiting anothet person in your place, if you are not allowed to join after one month of your joining date.
