Age Relaxation-- ----Training courses was suspended--Representation for being deputed in Intermediate class course--Entitlement--There were precedents as highlighted in 1986 PLC (CS) 677, where age relaxation was allowed by the IGP at his discretion--Relaxation could also be allowed in the case of civil servant as he had just crossed the age of 45 years and he was also not claiming any seniority--Appeal was disposed of. [P. 60] A Judgment As per facts, out of which present appeal emanates, appellant joined service as police constable on 17.5.1984 and qualified courses prescribed for list A&B/I. He qualified lower class course in January 1992 and was consequently admitted into list C/I w.e.f. 1.2.1992. He was accordingly promoted as head constable in the year 2002. Appellant states that he is about 45 years of age with clean service record and should have been selected for Intermediate Class Course by DPO, Sargodha in June 2003 as he was about to cross the age limit for the said training course. Appellant submitted application for being deputed to this course, which is pre-requisite for further promotion. His application was duly recommended to DIG for Intermediate Class Course. The DIG further recommended the case of the appellant to IGP through his letter dated 10.10.2003, particularly re-marking that the appellant was likely to become overage on 31.12.2003, if he was not sent for this training course. The IGP through letter dated 31.10.2003 forwarded the case of the appellant to Commandant Police College, Sihala, for allocating a seat in the course commencing from 16.11.2003 in favour of the appellant. The Commandant intimated that all in-service courses had been suspended for a year and, therefore, request of the appellant should be decided for this course in the year 2004. The Commandant also referred to general relaxation of age in this situation upto one year allowed by IGP. Appellant, therefore, made another representation for being deputed in the Intermediate Class Course starting in the beginning of the year 2004, but the same was filed by Respondent No.2 through his letter dated 13.12.2003-hence the present appeal in this Tribunal. 2.
