On the other hand, learned Standing Counsel for first respondent submitted that except for Class IV employees, all other employees shall retire at the age of 58 years and produced the Visakhapatnam Cooperative Central Stores Limited, Staff Service Regulations. Heard learned counsel for petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for first respondent society. The Regulation (n) of The Visakhapatnam Cooperative Central Stores Limited, Staff Service Regulations clearly prescribes that the age of an employee of Central Stores shall be fixed at 58 years other than the class IV Employees. Since, the petitioner is a “Godown Keeper” and do not fall under Class IV services the impugned proceedings retiring the petitioner on attaining the age of superannuation of 58 years, are justified and no interference is called for. The writ petition is devoid of any merit. Accordingly the same is dismissed. No costs. ______________ N.V.RAMANA,J DATE:27-03-2006 TVK THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V.
