(Oral) Though prima-facie this Court is convinced that present petition is not maintainable against respondent No.6 at this stage, but having taken note of the fact that petitioner herein has been discharging her duties of NTT/ECCET at Govt. Primary School Katyur District Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, for more than 19 years, this Court deems it fit to dispose of the present petition, reserving liberty to the petitioner to file representation to respondents No. 3 to 6, praying therein to relax the age criteria of the petitioner so that she, if otherwise found eligible, can continue to teach the students at the school concerned. Ordered accordingly. Needless to say, authority concerned while doing the needful shall afford opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and pass appropriate order taking note of the fact that 2 petitioner has been discharging her duties in the school in question since 2006. All pending applications stand disposed of accordingly. July 4, 2025 (Sandeep Sharma), Manjit Judge
