IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.16626 of 2009 Date of Decision: November 10, 2009 Maninder Jit Singh .....PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab & Others .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. R.S. Ghuman, Advocate, for the petitioner. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) Challenge in this petition filed under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India, is to Clause 12(d) of Advertisement dated 23.9.2009. Learned counsel contends that while for an ex-serviceman, the age has been fixed as 45 years (which is the age provided under the Punjab Recruitment of Ex-servicemen Rules, 1982), for a dependent of ex-serviceman, the age has been fixed upto 37 years. Contention is that even for dependents of ex-servicemen, the age should be CWP No.16626 of 2009 [2] fixed the same as provided under the Punjab Recruitment of Ex-servicemen Rules, 1982. I have considered the issue. On logical consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, it transpires that ex-servicemen are available only of a little advanced age. In such circumstances, the Punjab Recruitment of Ex-servicemen Rules, 1982 provide for a higher age limit. No such condition, however, exists for a dependent of ex-serviceman. No ground to judicially review of decision taken on the administrative side is made out. The petition is dismissed. (AJAI LAMBA) November 10, 2009 JUDGE avin 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?
