SANJAY KUMAR SAMAIYAR Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

Decided On July 22, 2008
Sanjay Kumar Samaiyar Appellant
V/S
STATE OF JHARKHAND Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS appeal has been preferred against the order passed by the learned Single Judge on 11.6.2008 in W.P.(S) No. 385 of 2007 by which the writ petition was dismissed holding therein that the petitioner, appellant herein, could not have been permitted to participate in selection if he had crossed the age of 35 years.

(2.) THE appellant/petitioner had filed a writ petition before the learned Single Judge challenging the advertisement No. 10 of 2006 dated 12th July, 2006 issued by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission by which the application for appointment to the post of Inspector Factories and Boiler Inspector was invited wherein minimum age limit fixed for the post as aforesaid was 21 years and maximum was 35 years.

(3.) THE counsel for the appellant/petitioner has tried to impress upon' this Court that the advertisement fixing age limit up to 35 years was clearly illegal and unjustified as the age relaxation ought to have been granted to the applicants since the process of appointment for filling up the vacancies had not been advertised for the last several years.
