                       --------------------------------------
                      W.P.(C) No.19887 of 2023
                    ----------------------------------------------------
                 Dated this the 16th day of October, 2023

                                JUDGMENT

The petitioners are aggrieved by the rejection of their

approval for the reason that the list submitted by the Manager

consists of also ineligible persons. There is no case that the

petitioners are ineligible. All that is stated is that another person

who was included in the list was ineligible insofar as she had

crossed the age limit.

2. According to the Manager, the said appointee is

entitled to relaxation of age and that is the reason why she has

been included.

This case does not pertain to the eligibility or ineligibility of

the person who is shown against the first rank in the list. As far

as the petitioners are concerned, there is no case for the

University that they are not eligible to be appointed. In the

above situation, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 1 st WP(C) NO. 19887 OF 2023

respondent to approve the appointment of the petitioners if they

are otherwise entitled to the appointment and pass orders within

one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
