THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.11057 of 2011 ORDER: The respondents issued a notification on 01.11.2010 inviting applications for the post of Mechanic and other category of posts. The petitioner submitted his application. He states that in the evaluation made by the respondents, he was awarded 71.62 marks. His grievance is that the respondents have not considered his case, on the ground that he is over-aged. The petitioner belongs to BC-E category. He contends that several candidates, who secured less marks than him in other categories, were selected. He seeks directions to the respondents in this regard. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The matter has undergone eight adjournments so far and no counter affidavit is filed. The petitioner claims that he belongs to BC-E category. In the notification, the age limit is stipulated as 30 years as on 01.07.2010 and relaxation to the extent of five years is permitted in favour of S.C., S.T., and B.C. categories. The petitioner was 36 year old by the stipulated date. Therefore, if one goes by the notification, the petitioner is obviously over-aged. In a batch of writ petitions, this Court passed an order to the effect that the age limit for the candidates, who have undergone apprenticeship training in the workshops of the A.P.S.R.T.C. shall be relaxed to the extent of four years. The petitioner states that he has undergone such training. If that be so, the relaxation ought to have been given. It is not known as to whether these aspects were taken into account by the respondents. Even now, the matter can be examined. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents, to re-examine the case of the petitioner with reference to the claim made by him that he has undergone apprenticeship training with A.P.S.R.T.C. and to pass necessary orders within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The petitioner shall be entitled to place necessary material before the respondents. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 08.09.2011 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.11057 of 2011 Date: 08.09.2011 JSU
