HC gives 6-yr age relaxation for constable posts

The single judge bench of Justice SK Panigrahi on Thursday directed the State Selection Board (Odisha Police) to revise its August 29, 2024 advertisement to incorporate the relaxation of the upper age limit for candidates adversely affected by delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and the prolonged non-advertisement of posts.

The recruitment for the posts of sepoys/constables in 16 different battalions was last held in 2018, but no upper age relaxation was given in 2024 for those who had crossed the 23 years age limit during these six years. Opposing it, candidates who had crossed the 23 years age limit challenged the advertisement in a batch of petitions.
