13. Placing reliance on the decisions of this Court in Ashok Kumar Sharma v. Chander Shekhar, (1997) 4 JT (SC) 99; A. P. Public Service Commission v. B. Sarat Chandra, (1990) 4 Serv LR 235 (SC); Dist.
Sanjeev Kumar Pandey vs State Of Jharkhand & Ors. on 10 May, 2012
In
the case of A.P. Public Service Commission v. B. Sarat Chandra2 the
relevant service rule stipulated that the candidate should not have completed
the age of 26 years on the 1st day of July of the year in which the selection is
made. Such a cut-off date was challenged. This Court considered the various
steps required in the process of selection and said,
"when such are the different steps in the process of selection the
minimum or maximum age of suitability of a candidate for appointment
cannot be allowed to depend upon any fluctuating or uncertain date. If
the final stage of selection is delayed and more often it happens for
various reasons, the candidates who are eligible on the date of
application may find themselves eliminated at the final stage for no fault
of theirs. The date to attain the minimum or maximum age must,
therefore, be specific and determinate as on a particular date for
candidates to apply and for the recruiting agency to scrutinise the
applications".

"5. This contention, in our view, is not sustainable. In the first place
the fixing of a cutoff date for determining the maximum or minimum
age prescribed for a post is not, per se, arbitrary. Basically, the fixing
of a cutoff date for determining the maximum or minimum age
required for a post, is in the discretion of the rulemaking authority
or the employer as the case may be. One must accept that such a cut
off date cannot be fixed with any mathematical precision and in such
a manner as would avoid hardship in all conceivable cases. As soon as
a cutoff date is fixed there will be some persons who fall on the right
side of the cutoff date and some persons who will fall on the wrong
side of the cutoff date. That cannot make the cutoff date, per se,
arbitrary unless the cutoff date is so wide off the mark as to make it
wholly unreasonable. This view was expressed by this Court in Union
of India v. Parameswaran Match Works and has been reiterated in
subsequent cases. In the case of A.P. Public Service Commission v. B.
Sarat Chandra the relevant service rule stipulated that the candidate
should not have completed the age of 26 years on the 1st day of July
of the year in which the selection is made. Such a cutoff date was
challenged. This Court considered the various steps required in the
process of selection and said,
"when such are the different steps in the process of selection
the minimum or maximum age of suitability of a candidate for
appointment cannot be allowed to depend upon any fluctuating
or uncertain date. If the final stage of selection is delayed and
more often it happens for various reasons, the candidates who
are eligible on the date of application may find themselves
eliminated at the final stage for no fault of theirs. The date to
attain the minimum or maximum age must, therefore, be
specific and determinate as on a particular date for candidates
to apply and for the recruiting agency to scrutinise the

Chander Shekhar, A.P. Public Service Commission v. B. Sarat Chandra, District
Collector and Chairman, Vizianagaram Social Welfare Residential School
Society v. M. Tripura Sundari Devi, Rekha Chaturvedi v. University of
Rajasthan, M.V. Nair (Dr) v. Union of India and U.P. Public Service
Commission U.P., Allahabad v. Alpana the High Court has held (i) that the
cut-off date by reference to which the
eligibility requirement must be satisfied by the candidate seeking a public
employment is the date appointed by the relevant service rules and if there
be no cut-off date appointed by the rules then such date as may be appointed
for the purpose in the advertisement calling for applications; (ii) that if
there be no such date appointed then the eligibility criteria shall be
applied by reference to the last date appointed by which the applications
have to be received by the competent authority. The view taken by the High

settled and hence cannot be found fault with. However, there are certain
special features of this case which need to be taken care of and justice be
done by invoking the jurisdiction under Article 142 of the Constitution
