Nagaland Sr.Govt.Employees ... vs State Of Nagaland & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of Section 3 of the Nagaland Retirement from Public Employment Act, 1991, which mandates retirement at 57 years or after 33 years of service, whichever is earlier. The Court found that the provision does not violate Article 14 of the Constitution, as it is a reasonable classification aimed at ensuring efficiency in public service. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the State's authority to regulate retirement age for its employees.
