Applicant filed an O.A seeking direction to admit him by giving age relaxation for 20 days to become eligible for applying to the post of UDC citing the G.O. Ms. No.98/83-Lab dated 24.08.1983 issued by the Labour Department. The CAT, Madras Bench after considering the facts dismissed the O.A at the admission stage. Aggrieved on the order passed by the CAT, Madras Bench, the applicant filed a Writ Petition No.28740 of 2015 challenging the order passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Madras Bench, seeking for a direction to the respondents, to grant age relaxation, so as to enable the petitioner to apply to the post of Upper Division Clerk. The Hon’ble High Court upheld the order passed by the CAT, Madras Bench stating that "as rightly observed by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Madras Bench, Courts cannot issue any directions to the Appointing Authority, to grant any relaxation of age, contrary to Recruitment Rules, in which maximum age is prescribed."
