Rajiv Kapoor & Anr vs Karan Pal Singh

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Allahabad High Court's order regarding the retirement age of the petitioner, which was subject to a pending proposal before the State Government. The Court held that the State Government's approval to increase the retirement age from 58 to 60 years, effective from 03.07.2012, could not retroactively apply to the petitioner who had already retired on 31.01.2012. Consequently, the High Court's order was stayed, and the appeal was allowed, affirming that the petitioner was not entitled to the benefits of the amended retirement age.
