Counsel ----------- 2. 18.1.2011 Shorn of all unnecessary details, it is evident from the order dated 23.12.2010 of the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Group Centre, C.R.P.F., Muzaffarpur that the petitioner after the review medical examination was found to be physically fit but on a consideration of the merit list, it was found that as per the vacancies available in his category another candidate, Shiva Nand Ojha, had obtained 48 marks, which was the same as the marks obtained by the petitioner but the date of birth of the said Shiva Nand Ojha is 10.1.1987, whereas that of the petitioner is 7.5.1987 and for the said reason, the person having the earlier date of birth has been given preference. Accordingly, the said Shiva Nand Ojha has been appointed as the last candidate in the category and the petitioner could not be given the appointment. - 2 - Learned counsel for the petitioner is unable to assail the said reasoning given in the order of the D.I.G., C.R.P.F. The only submission made on behalf of the petitioner is that on the basis of his age this is the last chance for the petitioner to get selected for the said post. The aforesaid submission cannot be any reason for the issuance of a writ in favour of the petitioner. The authorities have certainly not acted either contrary to law or unreasonably in the matter and have followed the rules in this regard. In the above circumstances, the writ application is dismissed. VPS ( Ramesh Kumar Datta, J. )
