    Order No. 1. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.
    1.
    2. This matter was not in the today’s list. On being mentioned, it
    was taken up having regard to the urgency involved as per the
    Special Notice published by the Registry.

    4. The petitioners have challenged the advertisement dated
    22.09.2024 whereby no relaxation of age has been granted despite
    the fact that the process of recruitment has been initiated after 2018.
    5. Mr. Rout, learned counsel for the petitioners refers to the
    amendment of the Odisha Civil Service (Fixation of Upper Age
    Limit) Rules 1989, whereby the upper age limit was enhanced from
    32 to 38 years for the calendar years 2021-22 and 2023. Mr. Rout
    submits that there being no advertisement issued in the above

    mentioned years and the impugned advertisement having been
    issued after six years, the petitioners are deprived of applying for
    the post since no age relaxation has been provided. Mr. Rout has
    also referred to Clause-21 of the Odisha Battalion Service [Method
    of Recruitment and Conditions of Service of Sepoys or Constables,
    Havildars and ASI (Armed)] Order, 2022, which provides for
    relaxation of the different provisions of the order by the
    Government on a reference being made by the Director General
    and Inspector General of Police. Mr. Rout submits this is a fit case
    where the Government can relax the provisions in order to allow
    the petitioners to at least appear in the examination.

    notice on behalf of Opposite Party Nos. 1 to 3.
