Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of the superannuation age of professors at Kumaun University, as per the university's statutes. The court emphasized the need for clarity in administrative orders and held that the office order regarding the retirement age was not in accordance with the established statutes. Consequently, the court ruled in favor of the appellants, allowing them to continue their service until the age stipulated in the statutes.
