Backward Classes and Minorities Welfare (BC.I) Department dated 03.05.2002 makes the petitioner ineligible as he is over aged beyond the upper age limit of 32 years. It would be appropriate to extract paragraph-2 of the said Government Order as under:

3.In the light of the above, since the petitioner is over

it is dismissed. No costs.
