S.B. CIVIL PETITION NO.1615/1994. (ASHOK KUMAR VS. STATE & ORS.) DATE OF ORDER : 02.05.2007. HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. Anand Purohit for the petitioner. Mr. Shyam Ladrecha, AGA, for the respondents. Under a notification issued by the respondents in the year 1993, the petitioner submitted an application to be considered for appointment as Senior Teacher, however, being not eligible, appointment was not accorded to him. The grievance of the petitioner is that the Government of Rajasthan by a communication dated 06.11.1979 instructed to the Director of Employment of Government of Rajasthan, Jaipur to give preference employment to the persons who were at the verge of crossing the maximum age limit for appointment, but no such preference was given to the petitioner. I do not find any substance in the contention so raised as the instructions given under the communication dated 06.11.1979 cannot be made applicable to the recruitments made under the Statutory Rules. The recruitments governed by the Statutory Rules cannot be interfered by administrative instructions. It is the position admitted that the candidature of the petitioner was considered by the respondents but the same was not accorded to him being at a lower pedestal in the list of selected candidates prepared in order of merit. Accordingly, this petition for writ is dismissed. (GOVIND MATHUR)J. Anil/
