Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's decision to quash the advertisement dated 16.08.2016 for the post of Director at the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) was incorrect. The Court emphasized that the age limit for eligibility should consider the revised age of superannuation set at 65 years, as per the Office Memorandum dated 20.04.2016. The Court directed that the advertisement must include appropriate relaxations for the upper age limit, thereby allowing the petitioners to participate in the selection process.
