Union Public Service Commission vs Dr. Pankaj Kumar & Ors Etc. Etc

The Supreme Court held that the respondents, being contract employees of the Government of NCT of Delhi, are not entitled to age relaxation as per the terms of UPSC Advertisement No.54 of 2005, which restricts such benefits to Central Government servants and employees of NDMC/MCD. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision that denied regularization but clarified that the concession made by the Additional Solicitor General regarding age relaxation was not binding on UPSC. The judgment relied on the precedent set in Union Public Service Commission vs. Girish Jayanti Lal Vaghela, 2006 (2) SCC 482, establishing that contract employees do not qualify as government servants under the relevant rules.
