UNION OF INDIA & ORS. vs R. NARASIMHAN

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of para 620 of the Railway Pension Manual, which allows for the compulsory retirement of railway servants after 30 years of service. The Court clarified that there is no inconsistency between this provision and Rule 2046(h) of the Indian Railway Establishment Code, which pertains to retirement based on age. The Court remanded the case to the High Court for further proceedings, emphasizing that both provisions can coexist without conflict.
