Union Public Service Commission vs Dr. Jamuna Kurup & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision that contractual employees of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, who had served as Ayurvedic Vaids, were entitled to age relaxation corresponding to their years of service when applying for regular posts. The Court clarified that the age limit for candidates should be relaxed for those who had worked on contract, ensuring they are not replaced by non-regular appointees. The judgment emphasized the need for fair treatment of contractual employees in the recruitment process under Article 14 and Article 16 of the Constitution.
