THE ELECTRONIC CORPORATION OF INDIA LIMITED vs M. SHIVANI

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the Writ Petition filed by the Respondents seeking age relaxation for recruitment to the post of Tradesman-B (WG-III) under Notification No. 38 of 2017. The Court noted that the Respondents, who had worked through an outsourcing agency, were not entitled to the same age relaxation benefits as those directly employed by the Appellant-Corporation, as it could lead to a cascading effect on other applicants. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to the prescribed age limits set forth in the recruitment notification, thereby affirming the decision of the lower court.
