Notwithstanding anything contained in the Special Rules for various State and Subordinate Services regarding the maximum age limit for appointment by direct recruitment, in the case of appointment by compassionate grounds, the maximum age limit shall be 35 years in respect of the sons or the unmarried daughters and 50 years in respect of wife or husband of the Government servant, who died in harness while in service, or retired from service on medical invalidation before attaining the age of 53 years, as the case may be.
