Age Limit Bars Appointment as Menial Staff in Aided School

Background:

A woman was denied a full-time menial position in an aided school due to exceeding the age limit. She challenged the decision in court.

Legal Question:

Can an educational authority reject the appointment of a candidate based on age limit?

Arguments Presented:

Appellant (Woman): Argued that she had held the position for 11 years and should be considered for a daily wage position.
Educational Authority: Maintained that the appellant exceeded the age limit and was not eligible for the post.

Court's Analysis and Reasoning:

The court acknowledged that the appellant exceeded the age limit and could not be appointed to the post. However, the court directed the government to consider the appellant's representation for a daily wage position within three months.

Decision:

The court dismissed the writ appeal but directed the government to consider the appellant's request for a daily wage position.
