Age Limit (As on 01.07.2012):
(i) For Practising Advocates / Pleaders and Assistant Public Prosecutors -

Minimum Age Limit: 25 Years
Maximum Age Limit: 35 years (For General Category); 40 years (For Reserved Categories)

(ii) For Fresh Law Graduates ( For all Categories) -

Minimum Age Limit: 22 Years
Maximum Age Limit: 27 Years
It could be seen from above that for fresh law graduate maximum age limit in Tamil Nadu is 27 years and for practising Advocates 35 years. You wont fall under practising Advocate category but you fall under fresh law graduate in general category. Your age for the entrance exam to Judicial Magistrate should have been 27 years. But it is 34 years. Hence you are not eligible to apply for Judicial Magistrate post. as you are over aged.
