Rule 5(c) Ex-Servicemen Rules | One-Year Eligibility Window Runs from Result Declaration, Not Application Deadline : Delhi HC

Delhi High Court ruled that the one-year eligibility window for ex-servicemen under Rule 5(c) of the Ex-Servicemen Rules must be calculated from the date of result declaration, not the application deadline. The judgment invalidates rigid administrative interpretations, ensuring fair access to CAPF vacancies for ex-servicemen transitioning within the prescribed period.
