S. MADHAVA REDDY vs EXECUTIVE OFFICER . — C.A. No. 6932/2002

Case Summary: S. Madhava Reddy v. Executive Officer Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and set aside the High Court's review order dated 21.9.2001. The Court held that the High Court was not justified in reviewing its earlier order (22.11.2000) that directed the appellant's case be considered under G.O. Ms.316/AD/1997 regarding age calculation for appointment. Key Facts: Reddy was appointed as an Attender in 1992 but faced termination in 1993 for being over-aged at appointment. After litigation, the High Court's writ appeal (2000) directed his case be reconsidered under the applicable age calculation rules. The respondent sought review alleging counsel made a wrong concession, which the High Court allowed. Rationale: The Court found no misrepresentation by the appellant and held it unfair to penalize an employee after years of service due to administrative interpretation errors in age calculation, especially when the Employment Exchange itself sponsored his candidature through proper selection.
