Shri Alok Sharma,A.S.G. for R.3. Smt.R.R.Mane,Adv.for R.4 Shri V.B.Deshmukh,Adv.for R.5 .... CORAM : A.P.DESHPANDE & N.D.DESHPANDE,JJ. DATE : 29TH JANUARY, 2010. 1] The present petitioner was working as a Professor in Senior College and by filing this petition, he has prayed that the age of superannuation be extended to 62 years. The claim in the petition is based on communication from Government of India and University Grants Commission. However, the State Government has fixed the age of retirement to be 60 years. This very plea has been considered and rejected by Division Bench of this Court in a batch of petitions alongwith Writ Petition Nos.6006/2007 vide judgment dated 28/11/2007. It is held by the Division Bench that it is prerogative of the State Government to fix the age of superannuation of Professors working in Senior College and hence upheld the fixing of age of superannuation at 60 years. As the present petition is squarely covered by the judgment of the Division Bench, Petition stands dismissed. [N.D.DESHPANDE] [A.P.DESHPANDE] JUDGE JUDGE umg/wp1204-08
