#Rajasthan Public Service Commission

The Rajasthan High Court has ruled that temporary employees who were within the prescribed age limit at the time of their initial appointment are entitled to age relaxation when applying for permanent posts, even if they exceed the upper age limit at the time of interview. This sets a critical precedent for thousands of contractual government workers across Rajasthan, ensuring that prior service tenure is not penalized by rigid age criteria during recruitment.

The Supreme Court ruled that candidates must possess prescribed educational qualifications at the time of submitting their application for public service posts, not merely by the interview stage. This decision reinforces strict compliance with statutory eligibility criteria, impacting recruitment processes across public service commissions.
