PARMESHWAR PRASAD versus UNION OF INDIA AND ORS.

PARMESHWAR PRASAD versus UNION OF INDIA AND ORS.

The appellant's claim cannot be sustained because there is no obligation for annual consideration under Regulation 3(1) of the IAS (Appointment by Selection) Regulations, 1956, and the age bar of 54 years is strictly applicable. The lapse or omission by the State Scrutiny Committee is an internal arrangement and does not override the statutory prerequisites for eligibility.
