IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR ORDER SB Civil Writ Petition No. 553/2011 Mani Lal Chanana & anr Vs The State of Rajasthan & ors 17.1.2011 HON'BLE MR JUSTICE MN BHANDARI Mr Hemant Gajraj for Mr Tanveer Ahmed - for petitioners BY THE COURT:
Learned counsel for petitioners submits that petitioners have attained age of more than 40 years. However, they are entitled for relaxation of 3 years of age pursuant to Notification dated 23.9.2008. Last recruitment was made in the year 2001.
I have considered the submissions made by learned counsel for petitioners.
Relevant portion of the Notification is quoted hereunder for ready reference thus -
If a candidate would have been entitled in respect of his/ her age for direct recruitment in any year in which no such recruitment was held, he/she shall be deemed to be eligible in the next following recruitment, if he/she is not overage by more than 3 years.
Perusal of aforesaid shows that if a candidate would have been entitled in respect of age, however, in any year no such recruitment was held, he/she would be deemed to be eligible in next falling recruitment if not overage by more than 3 years. Petitioners, in the case in hand, have attained the age of more than 44 years, whereas, maximum age provided is 35 years and with relaxation of age to reserve caste candidate maximum age is 40 years. Notification provides relaxation of 3 years, whereas, petitioners are overage by more than 4 years even if maximum age is taken to be 40 years in view of relaxation to reserve caste candidate. Accordingly, they are not entitled for the benefit under the Notification. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed as having no merit.
