Civil Writ Petition No. 13073 of 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 13073 of 2009 Date of decision:16th February, 2010 Jagdeep Singh .......Petitioner Versus The Central Administrative Tribunal and others ........Respondents Coram: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mr. J.S.Dahiya, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. H.S.Sethi, Advocate, for respondent Nos. 2 and 3. 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M.Kumar, J. The instant petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution, is directed against judgment dated 5.08.2009 (Annexure P-34), passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Chandigarh Bench, Chandigarh(for brevity 'the Tribunal') in OA No. 573/CH/2009. The Tribunal has rejected the claim of the Civil Writ Petition No. 13073 of 2009 -2- petitioner for appointment to the post of Medical Social Worker at Government Medical College Hospital, Section 32, Chandigarh, on the ground that he was over 25 years of age, which was the maximum age limit given in the advertisement(Annexure P-26). According to the column “UPPER AGE LIMIT AS ON 1.01.2008” the age prescribed for the post at no. 1 i.e. Medical Social Worker is 18-25 years. The Tribunal rejected the argument advanced on behalf of the petitioner that relaxation in age to the extent he has worked with the respondent be granted and therefore, he would be eligible. The reasoning of the Tribunal is that he was not working with the respondent but he was employee of M/s Sanchi Security Company Pvt. Ltd. SCO No. 358, Sector 44-D, Chandigarh. After hearing the learned counsel at considerable length, we are of the view that the petitioner was over age on 1.01.2008, and the finding recorded by the Tribunal do not suffer from any legal infirmity. Likewise, the other finding that the petitioner did not deserve grant of age relaxation is also fully backed by the record. From perusal of documents dated 24.08.2002(Annexure P-12), 23.08.2002(Annexure P-13) and the joining report submitted by the petitioner on 23.08.2002 (Annexure P-14), it is patently clear that he was employee of M/s Sanchi Security Company Pvt. Ltd.. We have perused the original record and we feel satisfied that the stand of the respondent is absolutely in consonance with the record. For the reasons stated above, the petition is liable to be Civil Writ Petition No. 13073 of 2009 -3- dismissed. Thus, the petition does not merit admission and the same is accordingly dismissed.
