There are other grievances which relate to the eligibility criteria published in Advertisement No. 1/2010 for the post of Police Constable. 7. A fundamental rule in service jurisprudence is that the employer has absolute discretion to decide eligibility of its employees and unless it is found that in public employment there is manifest discrimination in the eligibility criteria, the Courts would not interfere in the matter. It is also well settled that on the ground that there should have been better eligibility criteria for appointment, the writ Courts would not exercise the extraordinary powers under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 8. In view of the prayers made in these writ petitions, this Court does not find any merit in the matter and these writ petitions are dismissed.
