Heard Mr. T.J. Mahanta, learned counsel for the petitioners and also heard Mr. B.
Gogoi, learned Standing counsel, Health Department appearing for all the respondents.
 Page No.# 8/8

The petitioners herein are staff nurses under National Rural Health Mission on contract
basis. They have been working for the last 10 to 12 years under the National Rural Health
Mission. On 08.02.2020 an advertisement was issued by the Superintendent, Gauhati Medical
College Hospital inviting eligible candidates for filling up 300 Nos. of staff nurse in the
establishment of Superintendent, Gauhati Medical College Hospital. The period of filling up
the form on-line was given as; 14.02.2020 to 29.02.2020 till midnight. The eligibility age as
given in the advertisement is not less than 18 years and not above 38 years as on
01.01.2020.

The prayer of the petitioners is that the upper age limit may be relaxed in their case as
they have been working under the Government for more than 10 to 12 years and as it was
done in an earlier occasion by a notification dated 18.04.2018, issued by the Secretary to the
Government of Assam, Personnel (B) Department.

Considering the constraints of time and the nature of the case, after hearing both the
learned counsels, this writ petition is disposed of with the following direction; that the
respondents should allow the petitioners to submit their forms but acceptance of the same
shall be subjected to the decision of the concerned authorities on the question of relaxation
of the upper age limit.

The petitioners shall submit a representation to the respondent No.1 praying for age
relaxation in their case. As stated above and in view of the time constraint, the respondents
shall consider the representation within a period of 10 days from the date of receipt of the
same.

Writ petition stands disposed.
