STATE OF U.P. vs RAMESH PRASAD

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of superannuation age for a teacher at Moti Lal Nehru Medical College under the U.P. State University Act, 1973. The Court held that the relevant statutes, specifically Section 2(18) and Section 2(19) of the Act, along with Regulation 459 and Fundamental Rule 56(a), establish that the compulsory retirement age is 58 years, with possible extension only under special circumstances. The High Court's order allowing the teacher to remain in service until 60 years was set aside, affirming the statutory provisions regarding retirement age.
