Petitioner was also considered for selection but was not selected. 2. As per the counter affidavit filed by the respondents, though the petitioner was over-aged, but considering his temporary engagement by the Bank, he was granted age relaxation. Other persons were selected. There are no materials to show that the selection process in the manner stated in the counter affidavit as such is vitiated. I do not find any grounds to interfere in the writ petition and the same is dismissed. (V.GIRI, JUDGE) ma
