    Summary The Gauhati High Court allowed the petition and permitted petitioner Pabitra Medhi to apply for the upcoming Departmental Promotional Examination for Finance and Accounts Officer (Advertisement No. 35/2025) despite exceeding the age limit of 50 years. The court held that Rule 27 allows the government to relax rules causing undue hardship, and since departmental exams are not held annually, the petitioner may appear in the examination with results subject to the court's approval. The matter is listed for further hearing on 06.05.2026. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
