    Summary The Calcutta High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by Dr. Debiprasad Paul and others challenging the age limit imposed in the Assistant Professor recruitment advertisement issued by West Bengal authorities. The court held that since the UGC Act 1953 contains no parameters regarding age eligibility, the State has valid jurisdictional authority under the concurrent list to fix age limits for such positions, and the petitioners' argument that the State lacks power to set age limits while accepting its power to relax them was logically self-defeating.
