Key Principle Established
The age relaxation policy for ex-servicemen in Haryana government recruitment must be applied uniformly. Discriminatory application of the policy violates Article 14.
Ex-servicemen in Haryana challenged discriminatory application of the age relaxation policy in government recruitment where some candidates were granted relaxation while others in similar circumstances were denied.
The Court held that the age relaxation policy for ex-servicemen must be applied uniformly and consistently. Once the policy is framed, all eligible ex-servicemen must receive the same benefit. Selective or discriminatory application violates Article 14.
This judgment ensured fair treatment of ex-servicemen in Haryana government recruitment.
