flag Ex-servicemen using age relaxation lose eligibility for unreserved government jobs, court rules.

flag The Delhi High Court ruled that ex-servicemen who use age relaxation to qualify for government jobs cannot claim eligibility for unreserved posts, even if they score higher than some general category candidates. flag The court dismissed a writ petition by ex-servicemen excluded from document verification for non-executive roles at the Airports Authority of India, stating that using category-specific concessions like age relaxation disqualifies them from competing in the unreserved pool. flag It emphasized that eligibility for unreserved posts must be met without any relaxation, and that horizontal reservations for ex-servicemen do not allow migration to general categories when concessions were used. flag The judgment followed DoPT guidelines and upheld category-wise shortlisting, rejecting arguments that higher merit alone should permit such claims.
