Coram:- Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel Hon'ble Mr. Justice Alok Singh 1.Whether reporters of local news papers may be allowed to see judgement ? 2. To be referred to reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgement should be reported in the Digest ? Present: Mr. Jatinderjit Kaur, Advocate for the appellants. ... Alok Singh, J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the appellants. 2. Present appeal has been filed assailing the judgement dated 5.5.2009, whereby the petition was dismissed by learned Single Judge. 3. While dismissing the petition, learned Single Judge has observed that selection was made in the year 1991 and now after 18 years, it would not be appropriate to disturb the selection and grant relief to the petitioner. Learned Single Judge while dismissing the petition has also observed as under:- “The petitioner secured 61.5 marks whereas the last selectee has LPA No. 1242 of 2009 2 obtained 66 marks. These 61.5 marks include the 5 marks for the matriculation examination passed from the rural area.” 4. On being asked as to whether after expiry of 19 years from the date of selection under challenge, the appellants are still eligible to be considered for the post, learned counsel for the appellants fairly stated that now the appellants have become over age. We find that no irregularity or illegality has been committed by learned Single Judge, declining to grant relief to the petitioner on the ground that after expiry of 18 years, selection made in 1991 should not be questioned. 5. Appeal lacks merit, hence is dismissed in limine. ( Alok Singh ) Judge ( Adarsh Kumar Goel ) Judge 24.02.2010 sk.
