Order
14/12/2021
This appeal is filed by the original petitioner to challenge the
judgment of learned Single judge dated 10.07.2020. The brief
facts are that the petitioner had applied for the post of Physical
Training Instructor Grade III for which the advertisement was
issued on 04.05.2018. The petitioner was not considered eligible
since he had crossed the maximum upper age limit prescribed as
per the rules and extended by the Government. The petitioner
therefore approached the High Court and writ petition was
dismissed. Hence this appeal.
Learned counsel for the appellant-original petitioner drew our
attention to Rule 38 of the Rajasthan Educational Subordinate
(2 of 2) [SAW-606/2020]
Service Rules, 1971 which gives power to the State Government
to relax any part of the rules if case of undue hardship is made
out. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that since from
the year 2015 no recruitment year-wise was conducted the
Government should have extended the upper age limit suitably. In
the present case the Government has issued general order
extending the upper age limit by three years only.
It emerges undisputably that even with the aid of extension
of three years the petitioner does not come within the age limit.
Rule 38 of the said rules grants enabling power to the
Government. The Government having exercised discretion and
given general relaxation of three years, no directions can be given
to extend the age limit further. Unfortunately the petitioner who
does not fall within the age limit even with the aid of extension
would be rendered ineligible. No case is made out.
The appeal is dismissed.
