The petitioner prays for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus to consider her for appointment as a Trained Graduate TeacherMistress in English/Social Studies. 2.

Admittedly, the petitioner has not applied pursuant to any recruitment notice issued by the competent authorities from time to time. During the course of arguments, the learned counsel representing the petitioner submits that the petitioner is entitled to relaxation of age in order to exclude the period spent by the authorities in revising the result of Punjab State Teacher Eligibility Test-2017. He relies upon a similar order passed by the Secretary to the Government of Punjab, Department of Education on 04.02.2020.
