He has come to this Court by filing this writ application in August 2009 against the order of his superannuation with effect from 31.07.2009. His grievances is that notwithstanding judgments of this Court holding that the employees would superannuate at the age of 60 years and not at the age of 58 years he was wrongly made to superannuate on 31st July, 2009 on completion of age of 58 years only. Once the writ application was filed learned counsel for the Forest Development Corporation has brought notice of this Court vide memo no.244 dated 17.08.2009 issued by the Managing Director of the Corporation whereby in compliance of the orders of this Court in similar matters it has been pointed out that the employees would retire at the age of 60 years and not 58 years. He has quoted from the orders aforesaid wherein this Court was at pains to notice that once in a case the law is laid down its automatically applies to all and individuals are not required to approach this Court. This order was passed by this Court on 17th July, 2009 in respect of this communication itself, yet the - 2 - petitioner was made to superannuate. Now, in view of this letter, it is said that the petitioner will continue in service. Thus, the Corporation brought upon this Court a useless litigation wasting time and money. In view of the circular aforesaid, the writ application is allowed. It is held that the petitioner would superannuate only on completion of age of 60 years and not otherwise. For the harassment to the petitioner and waste of Court’s time, the writ application is allowed with a cost of Rs.2000/- which shall be paid to the petitioner along with his remuneration for the month of August 2009.
