Retrospective reduction of retirement age invalid where higher age already fixed in appointment order | Associate Professor case : Bombay HC
A later government resolution cannot cut short the retirement age already granted to an associate professor, preserving the employee’s accrued service right. The Bombay High Court held that the retirement age fixed at 62 under the earlier rule remains enforceable despite a 2025 order seeking retirement at 60. This safeguards all government employees whose service terms were fixed before any subsequent amendment.
