Mukundakam Sharma ( 1 ) BY this writ petition the petitioner seeks to challenge legality and validity of Condition No. 6 of the advertisement published by the respondents calling for applications from male candidates for permanent commission for ground duty branches. ( 2 ) THE Indian Air Force invited applications from suitable male candidates in the Force. The course would commence from July, 2002 and in the said advertisement it is clearly stated that the last date for receipt of the application is 31. 7. 2001. One of the conditions of the advertisement is that the candidates awaiting result of final year or those who have appeared in final year examination are not eligible and thus should not apply for the post. ( 3 ) THE contention of the counsel appearing for the petitioner is that the petitioner was earlier selected by the Indian Army and during the period of his training he was boarded out by the Indian Army and, therefore, so far he is concerned, the aforesaid condition should have been relaxed to the respondents and his application should be received by the India Air Force. ( 4 ) I have also heard the learned counsel appearing for the respondents, who states that there cannot be relaxation of a condition for one individual candidate. ( 5 ) I have considered the submissions of the counsel appearing for the parties. One of the conditions of the advertisements itself is that no candidate, who is awaiting results of final year or who had appeared in final year examination would be eligible and, therefore, should not apply for the post and the last date for receipt of the application has been fixed as 31. 7. 2000 i. e. today. The contention of the counsel appearing for the petitioner cannot be accepted for the simple reason that there cannot be a relaxation for the petitioner on the ground that he was selected by one of the defence forces, namely, Indian Army at an earlier point of time but was boarded out during the training. Besides the aforesaid stipulation is a part of the advertisement and is incorporated as one of the terms and conditions after due deliberation. Besides the aforesaid stipulation is a part of the advertisement and is incorporated as one of the terms and conditions after due deliberation. The same is a policy matter of the respondents, with which this court would not interfere with in the exercise of jurisdiction under Article 226 of Constitution of India unless the same could be shown to be arbitrary. The petitioner has not been able to make out any case of arbitrariness. I find no merit in the petition and the same is dismissed Order.
