    Summary: The High Court of Chhattisgarh upheld the Single Judge's decision setting aside Kanan Verma's selection as Boiler Inspector, holding that he was ineligible as he did not satisfy the age relaxation criteria prescribed in the recruitment advertisement. The court found that while Verma exceeded the maximum age limit, he was not entitled to relaxation under Clause 4(ii) for state government employees, nor could he claim relaxation as an "educated unemployed youth" since he was engaged in gainful professional activity with substantial income, thus the PSC's grant of relaxation was illegal and contrary to the advertisement terms.
