State of Maharashtra The Supreme Court allowed the appeal on February 16, 2010, setting aside the High Court and Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal orders that dismissed the appellant's application for the Health Worker post on age grounds. The Court held that an applicant's age must be assessed on the application date, not the recommendation date; since the appellant (born 1.1.1960) was within the 38-year limit for project-affected persons when applying, he was eligible. The State Government was directed to expeditiously reconsider his application treating him as within age limit, with no costs awarded.
