Respondents. -------- For the Petitioner : Mr Shambhu S.N.Singh, Advocate For the State : Mr H.P.Singh, GA 6 For the BPSC : Mr Sanjay Pandey, Advocate ------ Heard the parties. The petitioner has raised a grievance that in the Advertisement No.45/2009 issued for filling up vacancies in the post of Civil Judge (Junior Division), there is no provision for granting relaxation in the age of candidates belonging to Other Backward Classes. Learned counsel for the State drew our 2 attention to an order of a Division Bench dated 27.7.2009 passed in CWJC No.8601 of 2009 (Kumari Manisha v. the State of Bihar & others) whereby on considering the provisions in the Bihar Civil Services (Judicial Branch) Recruitment Rules, particularly, Rule 6 which provides for the age relaxation only in the case of Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe candidates, a similar grievance raised in that writ petition was found to be meritless leading to dismissal of the writ petition. We find no good ground to take a different view in the matter. Following the earlier Division Bench and in the light of provisions in the relevant Rules, which have not been challenged, the writ petition is dismissed as one without merits. There shall be no order as to costs. (Dipak Misra,CJ) (Shiva Kirti Singh,J.) sk
