S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.2950/2008 Chhail Singh Vs. State of Raj. & Ors. Date of Order :: 7.5.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. Shambhoo Singh, for the petitioner. ... A direction is sought by the petitioner for respondents to consider his candidature for the purpose of appointment as Executive Officer Category IV by extending age relaxation equal to the number of years in which vacancy was not advertised for the post referred above. The post of Executive Officer Category IV is part of Rajasthan Municipal Service and as per Rule 11 of the Rajasthan Municipal Service Rules, 1963 a candidate for direct recruitment to the service must not have attained the age of 40 years if he is in municipal or government service. The petitioner has already crossed the age of 40 years on 30.7.1996. The petitioner, therefore, is overage, and therefore, he can not be considered for appointment on the post of Executive Officer by way of direct recruitment. It is also relevant to note that under the Rules of 1963 no power of relaxation in age is available except for the persons who have faced imprisonment and at the time of their conviction they were not overage. Another relaxation is available to the members of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The petitioner is not entitled as per the Rules for any relaxation, as such, this petition for writ is having no merit. The petition for writ, therefore, is dismissed. (GOVIND MATHUR), J. Jgoyal
