IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12796 of 2002 MD.SHAMSHAD ALI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3. 20.03.2009 The prayer in this writ application is for grant of exemption from the departmental examination for crossing the efficiency bar. The ground urged is that the petitioner has been unsuccessful in the examination and under certain Government circulars, after having crossed the age of 50 years, he is entitled for exemption. The grant of exemption is not a matter of right. If the petitioner has applied for the same, let the authority take appropriate orders thereupon within six weeks from the receipt and/or production of a copy of this order. The application stands disposed. AKS/ (Navin Sinha, J.)
