An erroneous acceptance of an online application, participation in selection, or provisional inclusion in a merit list does not create an indefeasible right to appointment for an ineligible candidate. Where an earlier proceeding has conclusively determined that the candidate exceeded the upper age limit, the same eligibility issue cannot be reopened in a challenge to non-appointment under res judicata. A relaxation plea that should have been raised earlier is also barred by constructive res judicata. en-us Wed, 25 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 12 Sep 2026 17:47:31 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=471664 Upper age-limit eligibility prescribed in a recruitment advertisement cannot be relaxed unless an express statutory or advertised power permits relaxation.
