REGIONAL MANAGER, U.P.S.R.T.C.. vs MASLAHUDDIN (DEAD)

The Supreme Court condoned the delay in filing substitution applications in SLP (C) No. 29305 of 2008 and SLP (C) No. 29293 of 2008, setting aside any abatement and allowing the applications. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that employees of the U.P. State Road Transport Corporation were entitled to superannuation at the age of 60 years, confirming the Labour Court's awards. The judgment clarified the applicability of the U.P. State Road Transport Corporation Employees (Other than Officers) Service Regulations, 1981, particularly Regulation 37 regarding retirement age.
