In Brief
In this 2019 civil appeal, Electronic Corporation of India Ltd. challenged an order permitting respondents to participate in a selection process for certain posts with age relaxation benefits. The respondents were engaged through an outsourcing agency. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, holding that respondents engaged through outsourcing cannot be considered for the regular posts or granted age relaxation. The timing of the writ petition challenge and the nature of outsourced engagement were determining factors in the decision.
