nature of certiorari to quash the impugned advertisement dated 04.12.2025 and walk in interview dated 16-12-2025 & 17-12-2025 passed by respondent No.6 (contained as Annexure No.1 to this Writ Petition

nature of mandamus directing the respondent no.1 to implement the government order 92(1)/XXX(2)/2021-

view of provisions contained in Chapter XXI-A Rule 3(4)(b) of the Rules of the Court, 1952, a PIL Petition shall not be entertained in matters

pertaining to service, employment, matrimonial issues or matters of the like nature.

5. Rule 3(4) of Chapter XXI-A of Rules of the Court, 1952 reads as under:

“(4) No “PIL-Petition or “PIL-Letter” shall be entertained on any of the following subjects:

(a) Matters which are purely in the private domain, such as landlord-tenant relationship, master-servant relationship, relationship between individuals or any juristic person, or any matter of the like nature; or (b) Matters pertaining to service, employment, matrimonial issues or matters of the like nature; or (c) Matters strictly falling in the arena of criminal or civil jurisdiction, and which constitute disputes amongst individuals, or any matter of the like nature; or (d) Matters which relate to one person, as opposed to a group or class of persons.”

6. Learned State Counsel also refers to a judgment rendered by Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Girjesh Shrivastava and others Vs. State of Madhya Pradesh and others, reported as (2010) 10 SCC 707.

7. We find substance in the objection raised 8. Admittedly, the reliefs sought in the writ petition are in the nature of service matter. In view of law of the land, public interest litigation is not maintainable in such matters.
