    Summary The West Bengal High Court dismissed Sunandan Basak's writ petition challenging his rejection from the second SLST (Secondary Level Selection Test) on grounds of being over-aged (49 years). The court held that age relaxation under the Supreme Court's Baishakhi Bhattacharyya judgment applies only to candidates directly affected by the nullified first SLST process, not to all over-aged candidates. Since the petitioner was not in service under the first SLST, he was ineligible for age relaxation and properly excluded from the examination.
