Instantly it is very important and pertinent to mentioned here that the present petitioners have never availed a single opportunity to participate in the process of regular appointment because in between 1998 and 2020, the Respondent Authorities never published a single advertisement for regular appointment in which present petitioners could have been participated, as well as second important thing about the present petitioners is that they have been appointed on contract basis under an advertisement dated 26.03.2008 on the very post of Ayush Medical Officers on sanctioned posts which have been sanctioned before more than 12 years but the Respondent Authorities did not regularize their service for which the petitioners fully deserves in accordance with, vide General Administration Department Memo No. 10/ijh0- 1401/74- 1408- dk0 Dated 13 June 1974. (ii) For issuance of an appropriate writ/s, order/s, order/s, direction/s commanding and directing the respondent authorities to give proper/lawful weightage in the selection under regular appointment on the post of Ayush Medical Officer in accordance with the Memo No. -3/,e0- 13/2018-12534 dated 17.09.2018 issued from General Administrative Department.

Advertisement No. 04 of 2020 to 09 of 2020 notified by the Bihar Technical Service Commission while assigning the last date for submission of application as 28.10.2020. 4. Undisputedly, all the four petitioners were over aged for the recruitment. Pursuant to the advertisement, they are not entitled for age relaxation. The petitioners were aware that if application is made though online with reference to the last date, i.e. 28.10.2020 their applications would not be accepted by the system having regard to the fact that petitioners were over aged. Petitioners should have approached this Court seeking for a direction to the concerned authority to accept petitioner’s application for selection and appointment to the post of Ayush Medical Officer with reference to age relaxation policy of the State Government. Whereas the present petition is presented in the year 2022. Therefore the last date prescribed in the advertisement dated 28.10.2020 cannot be extended beyond 28th March, 2022. Under Article 226 of the Constitution of India Courts have no power to prescribe cut off date for the purpose of selection and appointment. It is a policy decision of the State to stipulate the cut off date. 5. In the light of these facts and circumstances, petitioners had cause of action prior to 28.10.2020 in seeking a direction to accept their applications read with age relaxation. Therefore, petitioners have not made out a case. 6. Accordingly, the present petition stands dismissed.
