#superannuation age

The Andhra Pradesh High Court has directed that public sector employees be allowed to continue working beyond 60 years until the state formally decides on extending superannuation to 62, recognizing their legitimate expectation based on a binding ministerial recommendation. This interim relief protects employees from abrupt termination despite pending rule amendments, setting a critical precedent for administrative fairness in service law.

Delhi High Court dismissed a petition challenging the superannuation age of GREF/BRO medical officers, holding that retirement age policy is an executive prerogative beyond judicial review unless arbitrariness is proven. The ruling reaffirms that parity claims under Article 14 do not override policy decisions absent manifest discrimination.

Delhi High Court rules that ex-servicemen re-employed in the Air Wing of BSF after the 1989 presidential combatisation notification are governed by combatised cadre retirement rules, mandating superannuation at 57 years instead of 60. The judgment rejects claims for civilian retirement benefits, affirming higher pay and allowances under combatised conditions.

Madhya Pradesh High Court holds that despite Sports Officers being classified as teachers, superannuation age of 65 does not automatically apply absent policy justification based on cadre-specific shortage.
