IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.708 of 2008 SUDARSHAN PANJIYARA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- For the appellant: Mr. Nageshwar Prasad For the respondents : None --- P R E S E N T Hon'ble the Chief Justice And Hon'ble Mr. Justice Kishore K. Mandal --- Dated, the 12th September, 2008 Mr. Nageshwar Prasad, counsel for the appellant relied upon few orders of this court, namely, (i) order dated 18.1.2006 passed in CWJC. No.4730 of 2005; Subodh Prasad Yadav vs. The State of Bihar & Ors., (ii) order dated 24.1.2006 passed in CWJC. No.11384 of 2005; Arun Kumar Singh v. The State of Bihar & Ors., (iii) order dated 3.1.2006 passed in CWJC. No.14561 of 2003; Rabindra Sharma & Ors. vs. State of Bihar & Ors. and other connected matters and (iv) order dated 31.7.2008 passed in CWJC. No.546 of 2006; Sudarshan Panjiyara vs. The State of Bihar & Ors., and submitted that the single judge was not justified in not granting the relief to the petitioner for relaxation of age for appointment to the post of panchayat sewak. 2. The facts that emerge from the averments made in the writ petition are thus: 2 a) That the petitioner has been seeking appointment to the post of panchayat sewak since 1994. b) That the petitioner has become overage on 16.1.2005. c) That the writ petition has been filed somewhere in the month of January 2006. 3. In our considered view, the various orders cited by the appellant referred to hereinabove, as a matter of fact, do not entitle the petitioner to any order from this court directing the state government to relax his over age for appointment to the post of panchayat sewak. The matter of relaxation of age has to be considered by the state government after taking into consideration all relevant aspects. 4. It cannot be said that the single judge has committed any error in dismissing the writ petition. 5. Letters patent appeal deserves to be dismissed and is dismissed. R. M. Lodha, CJ. Kishore K.
