RICHA MISHRA vs STATE OF CHHATISGARH .

The Supreme Court addressed the eligibility criteria for the appointment of Deputy Superintendent of Police under the Chhattisgarh Police Executive (Gazetted) Service Recruitment and Promotion Rules, 2000, specifically Rule 8 concerning age relaxation for government servants. The Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition, affirming that she was ineligible for age relaxation as her appointment as Excise Sub Inspector occurred after the cut-off date of January 1, 2006. Consequently, the Court ruled that the appellant's non-inclusion in the successful candidates' list was justified, leading to the dismissal of her appeal.
