EWS can't seek age relaxation, enhanced attempts like SC,ST, OBC: Delhi High Court
✦ AI Brief
The Delhi High Court has ruled that aspirants from the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) cannot claim equal treatment with SC/ST/OBC candidates in terms of age relaxation and permissible attempts in Central government appointments. The court noted that the handicaps faced by socially backward classes and economically deprived classes are not the same, and EWS cannot claim automatic parity with SC/ST/OBC in these considerations.
