Achhaibar Maurya vs State Of U.P. & Ors

The Supreme Court interpreted Rule 29 of the Uttar Pradesh Basic Education (Teachers) Service Rules, 1981, which governs the age of superannuation for teachers, holding that a teacher born on July 1, 1943, would retire on June 30, 2003, and not be entitled to the 'session benefit' as claimed. The Court affirmed that the benefit of extended service must be conferred by statute, and the cut-off date for retirement is validly set by the legislature. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the High Court's decision.
