I.A No.4454 of 2011(Misc. Application) In WPSS No.1055 of 2010 Hon’ble V.K. Bist, J. Shri Niranjan Bhatt, learned counsel for the petitioners. Shri N.P. Sah, learned Standing Counsel for the State/respondents. Heard learned counsel for the parties. The Misc. application (I.A. No.4454 of 2011) is allowed. Rejoinder affidavit is taken on record. The petitioners have prayed that direction may be issued to the respondents to give weightage or preference to the petitioners, who have Post Graduate Diploma in Rural Development certificate, in the appointment on the post of Gram Panchayat Development Officer. Learned counsel for the petitioners could not point out the Rule, which provides such weightage or preference. In the absence of any Rule, the Court cannot direct the respondents to give weightage or preference to such candidates. Prayer is rejected. This petition has also been filed for a direction to the respondents to make appropriate amendment in the advertisement dated 18.06.2008 by providing Post Graduate Diploma in Rural Development certificate, as preferential educational qualification for the appointment on the post of Gram Panchayat Development Officer. Such relief also cannot be granted, as there are no Rules to this effect. It is for the State Government to amend the Rules for providing weightage or preference to the Post Graduate Diploma holders. This prayer is also rejected. Another prayer has also been made for a direction to the respondents to provide age relaxation to the petitioners in appointment, as they possess specialized degree in Rural Development. Such relief also cannot be granted by the Court. It is for the State Government to grant age relaxation to a candidate. In case, petitioners are overage, they can apply for age relaxation to the Competent Authority and the Competent Authority will decide their representation for age relaxation in accordance with law. In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of. Misc. application (CLMA No.9484 of 2010) also stands disposed of. (V.K. Bist, J.) Arpan 09.12.2011
