Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the petitioner's writ petition regarding his age of superannuation as a Presiding Officer under Section 7-C of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court clarified that the petitioner, still belonging to the Judicial Service, must retire at 60 years, as per the Punjab Superior Judicial Service Rules, 1963, which were amended to align with Article 235 of the Constitution. The Court concluded that the High Court's control over judicial officers was maintained, and the petitioner failed to demonstrate any severance from his judicial position.
