IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Letters Patent Appeal No.1396 of 2010 In (CIVIL REVIEW 241/2009) 1. The Bihar State Industrial Development Corporation Ltd. through its Secretary, Patna 2. The Chairman cum Managing Director, Bihar State Industrial Development Corporation Ltd. Indira Bhawan, Boring Canal Road, Patna-1 3. The Chief Personnel Officer, Bihar State Industrial Development Corporation Ltd., Boring Canal Road, Patna ----- Petitioners---- Appellants. Versus Ram Naresh Singh, S/O Late Jagdanand Singh, R/O Mohalla- Goindpur Matakuam Fatwa, P.S.- Fatwa, Distt.- Patna ----Opposite Party--- Respondent. ---------------------------------- 2 19.8.2011 Heard Mr. Piyush Lall for the appellants. This appeal under Clause 10 of the Letters Patent of the High Court of Judicature at Patna has been preferred against the order dated 21.4.2010, passed by a learned Single Judge of this Court in Civil Review No. 241 of 2009. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the appellants. The appellant Corporation has adopted the Bihar Service Code in its totality to govern the terms and conditions of its employees. The Bihar Service Code had earlier provided that the employees governed by it would superannuate on completion of 58 years of age. The State 2 of Bihar enhanced the retirement age of its employees, and raised the same from 58 to 60. Therefore, the enhancement of the age retirement, which is part of the Bihar Service Code, would equally apply to the employees of the appellant Corporation. The learned Single Judge has rightly allowed the writ petition by relying on the judgment of a Division Bench of this Court in the case of Lala Nand Kumar & Ors. Vs. The Bihar State Food & Supplies Corporation Ltd. & Ors., 2008(1) P.L.J.R. 579. There is no merit in this appeal. It is accordingly dismissed. Vinay/ ( S. K. Katriar, J.) (Ahsanuddin Amanullah,J.)
