P.S. RAMAMOHANA RAO vs A.P. AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY & ANR.

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of superannuation age for the appellant, a Physical Director at the A.P. Agricultural University, under Andhra Pradesh Act 24 of 1963. The Court interpreted Section 2(n) of the Act, concluding that the appellant qualified as a 'teacher' and thus was entitled to continue in service until the age of 60, rather than being retired at 58. The Court held that the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition was incorrect, thereby allowing the appeal and affirming the appellant's right to retirement benefits based on the extended age limit.
