Middle School, Barbigha, District- Sheikhpura. He had received State Award on 05.9.1991 because of his excellent service. The case of the appellant is that in view of Circular No. 190 dated 13.12.1984 he is entitled for one year extension in service. In the said circular it was provided that the State Awardee teachers will be given extension of one year of service and as such in his case also the said circular will be applicable and not the Resolution No. 128 dated 23.05.1996 whereby the provision for extension of one year service of the State Awardee teachers has been abolished. - 2 - It is submitted that the appellant had filed several representations before the respondent- authorities but no decision has been communicated to him regarding extension of one year service. The appellant retired from service on 31.01.2009. Resulation no. 190 was issued on 13.12.1984 in which it was provided that the State Awardee teachers will be given extension of one year of service . At that time the age of retirement was 58 years. Now superannuation age is 60 years. By resolution no. 128 dated 23.5.1996 the said provision for extension of one year service to the State Awardee teachers had been abolished. Hence, those who are in service after 23.05.1996 will not get the benefit of earlier circular which was withdrawn. Therefore, we see no defect in the impugned order of the learned Single Judge. This appeal is accordingly dismissed. BTiwary/ ( J. B. Koshy, CJ ) ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J )
