THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P. No. 18453 of 2010 O R D E R: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus to declare that the Notification dated 16.5.2010 issued by the respondent- University calling for applications for the post of Junior Assistant-cum- Typist is contrary to the upper age limit fixed by the Government. The contention of the petitioner is that in the present notification dated 16.5.2010, while inviting applications to the post of Junior Assistant-cum-Typist, the upper age limit is fixed as 34 years, whereas, in case of other Universities and Departments of the Government, the upper age limit is fixed as 39 years. If the upper age limit is fixed as 34 years, petitioner becomes ineligible. Further, petitioner is working as Junior Assistant-cum-Typist in the respondent- University since 2003 onwards. Therefore, the service rendered by him should be deducted for the purpose of deciding the upper age limit, as in-service candidate, but no such provision is made in the notification. However, learned counsel for the respondent- University submitted that questioning the very same Notification, some writ petitions were filed and they were disposed of at the admission stage, holding that the respondent-University shall issue a paper notification and also give wide publicity in the Print and Electronic media. Thus, as of today, the Notification dated 16.5.2010 has not been given effect to and the dates of interviews are not fixed. After giving wide publicity and receiving applications, posts will be filled up as per law. Under those circumstances, writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent-University to accept the application filed by the petitioner seeking appointment to the post of Junior Assistant-cum- Typist, as per the Notification issued on 16.5.2010 or any other notification that may be published by the authorities in this regard, and the case of the petitioner may also be considered for giving relaxation of the upper age limit, taking into consideration the service rendered by the petitioner in the respondent-University, if necessary. No order as to costs. JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU. Date: 5-8-2010. Note: Issue copies in two days. (BO) MVB.
