Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of age limits for the Delhi Judicial Service and Delhi Higher Judicial Service examinations. The court found that the age restrictions imposed by the High Court were arbitrary and not in line with the principles of equality enshrined in the Constitution. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's orders, allowing for a reconsideration of the age criteria.
