Shreenidhi Kumar & Ors vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the challenge to the age limit for contract employment in the Bihar Agriculture Department, which was set at 37 to 42 years, conflicting with the maximum age limit of 65 years established by the Resolution dated July 18, 2007. The Court held that the age limit in the advertisement was valid as it was based on the specific requirements of the temporary scheme under which the employment was being offered. The Court upheld the Director's decision to maintain the age limit in the advertisement, affirming that the Resolution allowed for flexibility in age limits based on the nature of the employment.
