That vide Gazette Notification dated 12-10-2006, the West Bengal Municipal Employees&#8217; (Recruitment) Rules, 2005 were introduced by the State Government in exercise of powers conferred under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000643874\" target=\"_blank\">417<\/a> read with Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000643913\" target=\"_blank\">54(4)<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000644264\" target=\"_blank\">West Bengal Municipal Act, 1993<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Single Judge vide interim order directed respondents 2 and 3 to accept the application for recruitment of the respondent 1 without pressing for the age limit bar of 40 years as indicated in the employment notice dated 08-06-2017 and permitted respondent 1 to sit in the examination for recruitment. However, the Municipality was directed not to declare the results of the examinations until further orders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Subsequently, the petitioner filed a review petition, wherein it was held that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000626015\" target=\"_blank\">West Bengal Municipal Service Commission Act, 2018<\/a>, along with its Second Amendment, was not applicable to the recruitment in question. This interpretation was upheld by the Division Bench in appeal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The respondent thereafter initiated contempt proceedings before the High Court. While the results were declared pursuant to the High Court&#8217;s directions, the appointment was not granted. The State preferred an SLP before the Supreme Court, wherein a delay of 383 days was condoned, and notice was issued.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">It was submitted that the West Bengal Municipal (Recruitment) Rules, 2005 do not contain any provision for granting age relaxation in connection with applications for permanent appointments. Further, vide a Memo, the respondent 1 was appointed as Teacher-in-Charge on a temporary basis, pending the appointment of a permanent teacher to the said institution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Subsequently, in an extraordinary special meeting of councillors held by respondents 2 and 3, it was unanimously resolved that 60 sanctioned vacant posts (17+43) would be filled up in terms of the West Bengal Municipal Employees (Recruitment) Rules, 2005 (as amended), along with other extant government orders applicable in this regard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">It was further submitted that the minutes of this meeting were never communicated to the petitioner. The decision taken by respondents 2 and 3 to allow age relaxation unanimously approved in that meeting&#8212;was, prima facie, in contradiction with the provisions of the Recruitment Rules, 2005.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court dismissed the SLP on merits, thereby affirming the judgment and interpretation rendered by the High Court.<\/p>\n<p><!--\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Director of Local Bodies, West Bengal v.
