16.02.2024 (Vijay Bishnoi, CJ)

This intra-Court appeal is filed by the appellant being aggrieved with the order dated 08.11.2023 passed by the learned Single Judge, whereby the writ petition Page No.# 2/2 [WP(C) No.6328/2023] filed by the appellant/writ petitioner seeking a direction to the State Government to grant relaxation of upper age for the purpose of appointment on the post of Assistant Teacher, has been rejected. The learned Single Judge, taking into consideration the fact that the appellant is already 45 years of age and any direction to the respondents to relax the upper age of the petitioner would amount to direct the respondent authorities to violate the clauses of the Office Memorandum dated 02.09.2020, was of the view that no case for interference was made out. Having heard the learned counsel for appellant and after going through the material available on record, we do not find any case in this writ appeal for interference with the impugned order. Hence, this intra-Court appeal is dismissed, being devoid of merit.
