IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition (S/S) No. 441 of 2011 Jai Prakash Yadav ….Petitioner. Versus State of Uttarakhand and others …Respondents. Sri M.C. Pant, Advocate present for the petitioner. Sri N.P. Sah, Standing Counsel present for the State of Uttarakhand. Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. (Oral) Heard Sri M.C. Pant, Advocate present for the petitioner as well as Sri N.P. Sah, Standing Counsel present for the State of Uttarakhand. The petitioner was initially appointed as a driver on daily rate basis and thereafter appointed on ad-hoc basis in the Trade Tax Tribunal, Uttarakhand. Now the Tribunal has advertised two vacancies of drivers. One of them is for ‘General Category’ and other is reserved for ‘Scheduled Caste’. All the same, the candidate must not be more than 35 years of age 1.7.2011. The petitioner has crossed this age and presently is 39 years of age. No relief, therefore, can be granted to the petitioner inasmuch as the age cannot be relaxed by this Court, as it is a statutory requirement. Age relaxation can only be made by the Governor of the State or under the rule of business by any other authorities to whom this power has been delegated. The petitioner is, therefore, directed to move a representation before the concerned authority. If such representation is made before the concerned authority, the same shall be disposed of as expeditiously as possible but definitely within a period of six weeks from the date a certified copy of this order is produced before the concerned authority. The petitioner is at liberty to show before the concerned authority any law on the subject. 2 With these observations, writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs.
