NESAR AHMED & ANR. versus STATE OF JHARKHAND & ORS.

NESAR AHMED & ANR. versus STATE OF JHARKHAND & ORS.

Petitioners cannot claim parity with teachers appointed in Bihar since Jharkhand has its own recruitment rules, which now allow only age relaxation up to 5 years. These rules have been upheld as constitutional, and appointments made strictly in accordance with them, with no challenge lying against such recruitment. Relief claimed would negate final High Court judgment and violate settled recruitment procedures.

Petitioners cannot claim parity with teachers appointed in Bihar since Jharkhand has its own recruitment rules, which now allow only age relaxation up to 5 years. These rules have been upheld as constitutional, and appointments made strictly in accordance with them, with no challenge lying against such recruitment.
