Prayer of the petitioner in this application is for directing the respondents to extend the last date for filing application for appointment to the post of Panchayat/ Prakandh Teacher. Mr. Tara Kant Jha, Senior Advocate, appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that in the facts of the present case the respondents be directed to extend the last date for filing application for appointment. Additional Advocate General No.III states that process of appointment is at the fag end and in case any such direction is given same will upset the entire process. We are of the opinion that fixing cut off date for filing application is to be decided by the employer and this Court in exercise - 2 - of its power of judicial review shall not extend the same, unless it is found that cut off date is absolutely arbitrary. We are of the opinion that the present case does not fall within the aforesaid category. We do not find any merit in this application and it is dismissed accordingly. (Chandramauli Kr.Prasad,ACJ.)
