(I)   Fixing upper age limit of 40 years for promotion as ADPPO from A.G.-III having  Law degree with 7 years experience – irrational – lack of nexus to the object sought to be achieved  - Arbitrary and discriminatory and therefore, violative of Articles 14 & 16 of the Constitution of India.

(ii) Process of acquisition of knowledge – following stranga in Sanskrit relied upon: ^^आचार्यात् पादमादत्ते पादम शिष्यः स्वमेधया  । पादम सब्रह्राचारिभ्यात्ः पादम कालक्रमेण चः ॥^^ “A person acquires one-fourth of the knowledge from the teachers, one-fourth by  himself, one-fourth from the colleagues and remaining one-fourth, by the passage of time.” "
