Wisdom may not come with graduation and age has no connection with enthusiasm, the Delhi High Court said Wednesday while dismissing a PIL seeking laying down of minimum educational qualification and maximum age limit to contest Parliamentary and Assembly elections.

A bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice C Hari Shankar said: "It ought to be kept in mind that all those graduates may not be wise as those who have not even cleared 10th standard".

"Graduation or no graduation, what is required is wisdom of a person. Wisdom may come or may not come with graduation. Some persons are young at advanced age and some are older at young age. All depends on vibrancy and enthusiastic approach. Age has no connection with enthusiasm."
