New Delhi's top court has blocked a request for a 10-year age exemption for primary school teachers working in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). The Delhi High Court upheld the 30-year maximum age limit set by MCD's own recruitment rules, rejecting the applicant's claim that an age relaxation rule from 1980 should apply.
The petition was filed by Poonam Patwal, who argued she had been a guest teacher with the Directorate of Education since 2012 and should be allowed to take part in the MCD's teacher recruitment process. However, the court ruled that the 1980 notification was no longer applicable and had not been formally adopted by MCD, meaning it could not automatically extend to MCD's separate recruitment rules.
