DELHI SUBORDINATE SERVICES SELECTION BOARD vs PRAVEEN KUMAR

The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's order directing the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board to grant age relaxation to the respondent for the post of Teacher (Primary) in MCD Schools, despite the upper age limit of 27 years as per the recruitment rules. The Court affirmed that the precedent set in Sachin Gupta vs. DSSSB, which allowed for age relaxation, was applicable in this case. The Court ruled that the respondent's eligibility should be considered in light of the age relaxation provisions, thereby affirming the lower court's decision.
