For the Petitioners : Mrs. Rakhi Rani, Advocate
For the RespondentState : Ms. Ruchi Rampuria, JC to Sr. S.C. I
05/19.01.2017In view of the fact that the issue involved in the instant writ petition stands concluded by the judgment of this Court passed in W.P.(S) No. 7885 of 2013 and batch cases, with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties, the instant writ petition is finally disposed of, at this stage itself.
2. Prayer in the writ petition is for suitably amending the stipulation in the advertisement for appointment on the post of Primary Teachers by fixing the cutoff date as on 01.07.2011.
3. Ms. Ruchi Rampuria, the learned State counsel tendering a copy of order passed in L.P.A. No. 429 of 2014 submits that operation of the order passed in aforesaid writ petitions has been stayed by the Division Bench.
4. Be that as it may, an identical prayer was made by the 2 petitioners in W.P.(S) No. 7885 of 2015 and batch cases and a learned Single Judge of this Court held that the cutoff date for upper age limit as fixed in the advertisement issued in the year, 2013 requires modification to the extent that the cutoff date shall be shifted to 01.07.2011. The fact that order passed in W.P.(S) No. 7885 of 2015 and batch cases has been taken in appeal before the Division Bench cannot be a ground for deferring the hearing of the writ petition.
5. The petitioners have made an identical prayer in the instant writ petition and accordingly, the writ petition stands allowed in terms of order passed in W.P.(S) No. 7885 of 2015 and batch cases.
