Union Public Service Commission vs Girish Jayanti Lal Vaghela & Others

The Supreme Court held that the appointment of Girish Jayanti Lal Vaghela as Drugs Inspector on a short-term contract basis did not confer upon him the right to age relaxation under the recruitment rules framed under Article 309 of the Constitution. The Court found that the Tribunal's dismissal of Vaghela's application for an age relaxation certificate was justified, as the rules intended to provide relaxation only to regular government servants. The Bombay High Court's order directing the issuance of the age relaxation certificate was set aside, affirming the Tribunal's decision.
