The appellant/petitioner is a retired Headmaster of a Government School. He attained the age of superannuation on 31.10.1999. But, by virtue of Rule 60(c) of KER, he continued in service till the end of the academic year, i.e. up to 31.3.2000. During the extended period of service he will not get any benefit of grade promotion or increment. Such persons are allowed to continue in service so that students are not affected and the only benefit they will get is the salary for the above period. In the above circumstances, we fully agree with the views of the learned single Judge. The appeal is, hence, dismissed. (J.B.Koshy, Judge) 20th October, 2008 (K.P.Balachandran, Judge) tkv
