Plea In SC To Relax Age Limit For OBC Candidates Appearing For District Judge Exam [Read Petition]

Live Law  

A Special Leave Petition has been filed before the Supreme Court, seeking to relax the upper age limit for persons belonging to Other Backward Class, for taking the District Judge examination. The Petitioner has however contended that the High Court ought to have considered the facts of the case, whereby the Petitioner and many other similarly placed candidates lost their opportunity to even appear in the examination while they were within the prescribed age limit, since the High Court did not notify vacancies for six years. "High Court failed to conduct examination every year as mandated by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Malik Mazahar Sultan case, reported in 17 SCC 703, the Petitioner could not participate in the selection process when the Petitioner was well within the age limit as prescribed by the Hon'ble Jagannatha Shetty Commission. Therefore, the High Court exercising the inherent powers under Article 233 to 235 of the Constitution ought to have permitted the Petitioner by relaxing upper age at 48 years," the plea read.
