P.S.Commission ... vs Arvind Singh Chauhan & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, affirming that the Public Service Commission's age criteria for the State Service Examination were valid and binding. The Court cited the precedent in Malik Mazhar Sultan v. U.P Public Service Commission [(2006) 9 SCC 507], establishing that recruitment must adhere to the prescribed rules, and errors in advertisements do not confer eligibility. The Court concluded that the respondents were not entitled to participate in the final examination due to not meeting the age requirements as per the valid advertisements.
