SHREENIDHI KUMAR vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the age limit for contract employment in the Bihar Agriculture Department, as stipulated in an advertisement issued on June 13, 2009. The Court held that the age limit of 37 to 42 years for various categories was inconsistent with the earlier Resolution allowing a maximum age of 65 years for contract employment. The Court directed the State Government to reconsider the age limit in light of the Resolution, emphasizing the need for consistency in employment guidelines under the Krishi Prasar Sudharikaran Yojna.
