P.S.COMMISSION THR.SECR.M.P.P.S.COMMI. vs ARVIND SINGH CHAUHAN .

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the Public Service Commission's age criteria for the State Service Examination were valid, as per the advertisements issued in 2001 and 2003. The Court emphasized that recruitment must adhere to established rules, referencing the case of Malik Mazhar Sultan v. U.P Public Service Commission [(2006) 9 SCC 507], which states that errors in advertisements cannot create rights for ineligible candidates. Consequently, the Court affirmed the Commission's authority to exclude candidates who did not meet the age requirements, leading to the dismissal of the appeals.
