IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2594 of 2009 LOUISA PYARI TIGGA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 26.02.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the BICICO. The discretion of extension of age of superannuation being a part of service condition of an employee, the decision in this regard has to be first taken by the employer i.e. BICICO. From Annexure-7, it would appear that the petitioner and other employees of the BICICO have filed a representation. In that view of the matter, the Managing Director of the BICICO is directed to obtain the necessary approval of the Government which now after abolition of the Bureau of Public Enterprises, would be an appropriate authority to accord approval of the proposal of the BICICO to extend the age of superannuation from 58 to 60 years. It is expected that the successor authority of the Bureau of Public Enterprises on a request made by the Managing Director would take a final decision within a period of six months. If the age of retirement is enhanced, its benefit can be given to the employees including the petitioner. With the aforementioned observations and directions this writ application is disposed of.
