    Case Summary: WPA 12521/2026 The court granted the petitioner Ganesh Chandra Sadhukhan liberty to submit an application seeking condonation of overage, as he was appointed as Sahayak at age 40 years 5 months when the prescribed age limit was 37 years. The court directed the Secretary, Department of Panchayat and Rural Development to consider and dispose of the condonation request within four weeks after granting a hearing, noting the petitioner's 14+ years of service without challenge to his eligibility. The court applied reasoning from a similar 2021 precedent, emphasizing that pension is an employee's entitlement, not charity, and that overage should not be penalized when accepted during employment.
