casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court partially allowed Jammu and Kashmir's appeal, directing Shaheena Masarat (Respondent 1) to be appointed as a teaching guide (Re-T) while setting aside the High Court's direction to continue Respondent 2 in her position. The Court held that the 35-year upper age limit for Re-T appointments is mandatory, not discretionary, and that Respondent 2—who exceeded this limit on the eligibility cut-off date—was ineligible; however, Respondent 2 would be accommodated in other vacancies without retroactive benefits. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
