IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.16175 of 2007 KUMAR BINYA KRISHAN & ANR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 04.09.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the respondents. Petitioners are claiming themselves to be permanent employees of the Bihar Police Building Construction Corporation Ltd. Their grievance is that they have been made to retire on reaching the age of 58 years on 30.11.2007. The question of benefit of enhanced age of retirement was considered by this Court in some earlier writ applications and the Court was of the opinion by virtue of the order dated 13.8.2008 passed in CWJC No. 15189 of 2005 that this benefit shall be available to the employees of the respondent Corporation. The reasoning stated in the order dated 13.8.2008 is also available to the present petitioner. This writ application is allowed with a direction upon the respondents that the petitioners would be permitted to rejoin their duty and shall be allowed to work till reaching the age of 60 years. It is also clarified that the period they have been kept away till the period they will rejoin shall not be treated as a case of “no work no pay.” This writ application is allowed.
