He submits that being an employee of the Bihar State Food and Civil Supplies Corporation Limited, this Court has already held in several cases that the age of superannuation stands increased to 60 years. Reference may be made to 2008 (1) PLJR 579, CWJC No 6821 of 2009 and analogous cases disposed of on 23.06.2009. Learned counsel for the State and the Corporation agree that the judgments aforesaid squarely applies to the petitioner as well and the petition may be disposed of in the same manner.
