Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the age relaxation for promotion to the cadre of Customs Inspector, as per the Union of India's guidelines, allows a maximum age of 55 years for ex-servicemen, which the respondent exceeded. The Court clarified that the precedent set in A.P. Loganathan's case was not applicable to the respondent's situation, as he had already surpassed the age limit by May 2003. Consequently, the High Court's direction to consider the respondent for age relaxation was set aside, affirming the Union of India's decision.
