IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8251 of 2008 SUBHASH CHANDRA PANDEY Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. Raj Kumar Mishra For the Corporation: Mr. A N Rai For the State: Mr. A K Verma ------ 02. 01.09.2008 Petitioner was a class-IV employee working under Bihar State Food and Civil Supplies Corporation and was ordered to superannuate on 31.5.2006 on reaching the age of 58 years. The order dated 30.5.2006 is contained in Annexure-1 and is under challenge in the present writ application. In view of recent Division Bench decision rendered in the case of Lala Nand Kumar & others v. The Bihar State Food & Supplies Corporation Ltd. & others, 2008 (1) PLJR 579 the issue stands finally settled that employees of the Corporation will have the benefit of extended age of retirement which would be 60 years. In that view of the matter the order contained in Annexure-1 stands quashed. Since the petitioner even otherwise stands superannuated on reaching the age of 60 years on 31.5.2008 the respondents are directed to take steps for payment of salary and other allowances to the petitioner from the period 1.6.2006 till 31.5.2008. Petitioner’s other retirement dues and benefits will be worked out as if he had superannuated on 31.5.2008 and not on 31.5.2006. The writ application is allowed. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J) - 2 -
