DR. PROFESSOR RAJENDRA CHAUDHARY vs THE STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of reservation and age limit for the appointment of professors in government medical colleges in Uttar Pradesh. It held that the increase of the upper age limit from 45 years to 65 years for the appointment process violates the Uttar Pradesh Medical College Teacher Service (Second Amendment) Rules, 2005. The Court ruled that the advertisement issued for the appointment was contrary to the provisions of the Reservation Act, 1994, which mandates specific reservations for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes.
