Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Bombay High Court's order directing the issuance of an age relaxation certificate to Girish Jayanti Lal Vaghela was justified under the provisions of Article 309 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that the recruitment rules allow for age relaxation for government servants, and since Vaghela had been continuously employed, he was entitled to such consideration despite his initial short-term contract. The Court overturned the Tribunal's dismissal of Vaghela's application, thereby reinstating his eligibility for the Drugs Inspector position.
