1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Writ Petition No. 680/2010 Narendra S. Khawale Vs. District Selection Committee, and others. Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, Appearances, Courts orders or directions Court’s or Judge’s orders and Registrar’s orders. Mr. P. N. Shende, Adv. for the petitioner. Mr. R.J. Kankale, Adv. for respondents 1 and 4. Mr. A. Z. Jibhakate, Adv. for respondent no.3. CORAM: B.P.DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATE : 30TH AUGUST, 2010. 1] Advocate Shende has contended that the petitioner is more meritorious because he has secured more marks in A.T.D. He further states that though the petitioner was slightly above age, as per settled Government policy that can be relaxed. 2] Advocate Jibhakate appearing for respondent no.3 has pointed out that the basic qualification is B.F.A. and respondent no.3 is having more marks than the petitioner in that degree examination. He further states that there is no question of relaxing of age when several candidates falling within limit are available. 3] AGP Kankale supported the arguments advanced by Advocate Jibhakate. 4] I have perused the relevant papers with the 2 assistance of counsel. It is apparent that the applications were to be submitted by 30th May 2007 and interviews have been conducted thereafter in first week of June. The Grievance Committee has found that at the time of her interview, the petitioner was 35 years and four months. It is, therefore, apparent that even on last date prescribed for making application, the petitioner was overage by about two years and three months. 5] Respondent no.3 is duly qualified and also satisfies the age limit. I am, therefore, not inclined to entertain the matter. Writ Petition is, therefore, rejected. No costs. JUDGE Ambulkar.
