petition. The respondents have also averred that the petitioners seek to challenge condition Nos. 02 and 04 of Government Order No.118-SKIMS of 2012 dated 6th of November, 2012 and condition Nos. ‘iii’ and ‘iv’ of the impugned advertisement notice on the ground that superannuated candidate cannot be given the benefit of additional two years, when the actual age of the petitioners, as on 1st of January 2021, is: (i) 60 years and 02 Months; (ii) 60 years and 09 months; and (iii) 61 years and 10 Days, respectively, notwithstanding the fact that the petitioners, by applying for the post of Principal, have already accepted the terms and conditions of the impugned advertisement notice as well as Government Order No.118-SKIMS of 2012 dated 6th of November, 2012 read with Government Order No. 38 SKIMS of 2017 dated 8th of June 2017. It is further submitted that the post of Principal of the College, being a full-time administrative post, is a post notified in terms of Government Order No.118-SKIMS of 2012 dated 6th of November 2012 read with Government Order No. 38 SKIMS of 2017 dated 8th of June 2017 and that such an administrative/ tenure post does not fall under the jurisprudence of the faculty positions, therefore, shall not have any age of superannuation attached to it. In the end, the respondents have prayed that the petition of the petitioners, being devoid of any merit, deserves to be dismissed.
