HC Upholds Upper Age-Limit Eligibility for Civil Judge Posts
A two-judge panel of the Telangana High Court upheld the prescribing of minimum and maximum age for candidates for the posts of civil judge. The panel of Justice Sujoy Paul and Justice N. Tukaramji also upheld the rule, which permits only advocates practicing in Telangana to participate in the selection process and obtaining a certificate of practice from the concerned bar association. Senior counsel Pratap Narayan Sanghi pointed out the prescribing maximum age was an artificial one without there being an intelligible differentia or any object sought to be achieved. The senior counsel appearing for the High Court justified the age factor stating that the decision of prescribing age for employees is in the realm of ‘policy decision.’ It can be challenged on limited grounds.
