BISHWANATH PRASAD SINGH vs STATE OF BIHAR .

The Supreme Court held that the retirement age of judicial officers in Bihar should be enhanced to 60 years as per the directions in the All India Judges Association case (1992) 1 SCC 119 and (1993) 4 SCC 288. The Court ruled that the petitioner, a District & Session Judge, could not be retired at 58 years without following the proper procedure, as the Governor of Bihar must issue such orders. The Court directed the State to frame rules for the enhancement of the retirement age, emphasizing the need for compliance with its previous judgments.
