IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.16803 of 2009 1. KISHORI SHARMA S/O SRI BACHACHU SHARMA R/O VILL SHEKHOPURDIH, P.S.SHEKHOPUR SARAI, DISTT- SHEKHPURA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY PERSONNEL &ADMINISTRATIVE DEPARTMENT GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE CHAIRMAN , KENDRIYA CHAYAN PARSHAD CUM- ADDITIONAL DIRECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE, S.C.R.B.BAILEY ROAD, BIHAR, PATNA ----------- 2/ 14/12/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The relief sought in this application is for enhancement of age relaxation from two years to three years to candidates in the backward and extremely backward caste for selection in the Bihar Police under advertisement 1 of 2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in other Police and Para Military Service the age relaxation granted in the aforesaid category is three years. Conditions for eligibility are for the employer to decide and not for the Courts to redefine. The Supreme Court in the case of State of Rajasthan & ors. V. Lata Arun reported in (2002) 6 SCC 252 at paragraph 13 has held as follows : “From the ratio of the decisions noted above, it is clear that the prescribed eligibility qualification for admission to a course or for recruitment to or promotion in service are matters to be considered by the appropriate authority. It is not for courts to decide whether a particular educational qualification should or should not be accepted as equivalent to the qualification prescribed by the authority.” This Court finds it difficult to pass any positive order in the nature of the prayer made as these are policy matters to be considered by the authorities themselves. The application is dismissed. AKS/ ( Navin Sinha, J.)
