HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH AND HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No.17622 OF 2011 ORDER:(per Hon’ble Sri Justice V.Eswaraiah) Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner states that he applied for the post of Junior Civil Judge. By proceedings dated 15.06.2011, the respondent rejected his application stating that he is not eligible to write the examination for the post of Junior Civil Judge as per his current date of birth, and as notarised affidavit is not an approved certificate. The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondent to permit him to appear for the screening test to be scheduled on 26.06.2011. The petitioner herein filed O.S.No.7807 of 2007 on the file of the III Junior Civil Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, for declaration of his date of birth as 01.01.1980. Admittedly, the suit was decreed ex parte on 09.07.2008. This Court, by order dated 08.03.2011 in CRP.No.5397 of 2010, allowed the application to condone the delay permitting the Government to file their written statement. That means, in effect, the decree has to be set aside. Thus, his date of birth, for all practical purposes, is only 01.01.1976 until the suit is disposed of. Therefore, the petitioner is not eligible to appear for the post of Junior Civil Judge. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, dismissed. No order as to costs. V.ESWARAIAH,J VILAS V.
