Apparently, on companying to know that he was number one of the persons called for interview while others had been, the appellant moved the Central Administrative Tribunal, Patna Bench at Patna, by filing O.A. No.213 of 1997.
In the said application, interim orders of stay appear to have been obtained also, which came to be ultimately vacated by the Tribunal on 18.9.1997 on being brought to its numberice that the appellant was over aged as on 1.4.1996.
On 12.12.1996, it appears that the name of the appellant was again recommended by his Parent Department for being companysidered for appointment by selection to the post of I.A.S. The State Scrutiny Committee, whose task is to short list the names of such candidates received from various Departments of the Government other than the State Civil Service for further companysideration by the Select Committee as per the Regulations, seems to have number favourably companysidered the claim of the appellant since he was above 54 years as on 1.4.1996, i.e., the relevant cut off date for companysideration of claims for the year 1996 97.
