Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellant, who had been working as a Technical Assistant and had not regularly served as a Key Board Operator, could not be superannuated based on the latter post's age limit. The Court emphasized that the appellant's right to revert to his original position was valid, as he had consistently signed attendance as a Technical Assistant and had not unequivocally accepted the Key Board Operator position. The Court ruled that the Central Administrative Tribunal's decision was incorrect, and the appellant should be allowed to retire at the age of 60 as per the norms for Technical Assistants.
