Madhya Pradesh HC Grants Interim Age Relaxation to EWS Candidates for Civil Services Exam 2025

In a significant ruling, the Madhya Pradesh High Court has provided interim age relaxation for Economically Weaker Section (EWS) candidates participating in the Civil Services Exam 2025. The court determined that EWS candidates will benefit from a five-year extension to the upper age limit, bringing their advantages in line with those of other reserved categories. This decision comes in response to a petition that challenged the exclusion of EWS candidates from age relaxation benefits, arguing that it violated Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution. The ruling promotes greater inclusivity in competitive exams while further hearings are pending.
