WPSS 3884 of 2001 OLD NO. 11930 of 1996 Hon’ble M.M.Ghildiyal, J. Heard Sri Lalit Sharma, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri N.P. Shah, learned Standing Counsel for State of Uttarakhand for the respondents. By means of this writ petition, petitioner has prayed for the following reliefs:- i) issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to consider the petitioner’s case for appointment as Asst. Teacher (Urdu) within District Haridwar against the advertisement dated 5.8.95 by arranging an appropriate interview and strictly in accordance with the petitioner’s merit at the written test dated 10.9.95 granting benefit of age relaxation to the petitioner in terms of her qualifications as permissible under Rules. ii) issue any other writ, order or direction which this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case iii) award the cost of the petition to the petitioner. In para 12 of the writ petition, it is stated that a large number of vacant posts of Urdu teacher out of 115 initially advertised posts are available with the respondents, however, the respondents ignored the petitioner’s claim for consideration for interview on the ground that the petitioner has become over age. This Court has no jurisdiction to direct the Government to relax the age and invite the petitioner for interview. If the petitioner has already become over age at the time when the examination was held, this Court is unable to issue any direction for consideration of petitioner’s appointment ignoring the fact that he has already become over age. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed in limine. All the pending applications stand disposed of. (M.M.G., J.) 06.11.2007 VKS
