1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO. 4156 OF 2008 (Sunil Madhukarrao Jawale vs. District Selection Committee & Anr.) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI & F.M. REIS, JJ. AUGUST 03, 2009. Heard Shri Khade, learned counsel for the petitioner, Shri Mirza, learned AGP for respondent No.1 and Shri Verma, learned counsel for respondent No.2. The contention of Shri Khade, learned counsel is that the petitioner who is an employee of Zilla Parishad, Chandrapur, should have been treated as in service candidate in terms of rule 3(f) of Maharashtra Zilla Parishad District Services (Recruitment) Rules, 1967, and as age limit of 45 is prescribed therefor, the petitioner could not have been treated as overage by Respondent No. 2 – Zilla Parishad, Bhandara. The learned AGP as also Shri Verma, learned counsel for the respondents state that rule 3(f) contemplates grant of fresh employment by same employer i.e. same Zilla Parishad and here as the petitioner has applied for grant of employment with another employer, Rule 3(f) has no application. Shri Khade, learned counsel in reply states 2 that rule 3(f) does not specify any particular Zilla Parishad and employees of Zilla Parishads in State of Maharashtra are covered by it. We are not in a position to appreciate the arguments of the petitioner. Each Zilla Parishad is separately constituted under the provisions of Maharashtra Zilla Parishads and Panchayat Samitis Act, 1961, and employment with each Zilla Parishad is separate and distinct. The State Government has prescribed the same recruitment rules to be followed by all Zilla Parishads and therefore, the use of word Zilla Parishad in rule 3(f) cannot be interpreted to mean that it extends the benefit of age of 45 years to employees in other Zilla Parishads also. We, therefore, do not find any merit in this writ petition. Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. JUDGE JUDGE *GS.
