INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY vs RAJA RAM VERMA .

The Supreme Court addressed the retirement age of employees at I.I.T. Kanpur, specifically under Statute 13 of the Institutes of Technology Act, 1961. The Court held that the age of superannuation for the respondent, an Assistant Registrar, was correctly set at 60 years as per the existing statutes and amendments, and that the communication from the Ministry of Human Resource Development suggesting a retirement age of 62 years for university teachers did not apply to non-faculty staff like the respondent. Consequently, the Court upheld the decision of I.I.T. Kanpur regarding the respondent's retirement age, affirming the validity of the statutes governing service conditions.
