Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal, which granted ayurvedic doctors the same enhanced superannuation age of 65 years as their allopathic counterparts. The court reasoned that there was no justifiable basis for treating ayurvedic doctors differently regarding retirement age. Consequently, the appeals by the North Delhi Municipal Corporation were dismissed, affirming the rights of the ayurvedic doctors to continue in service until the age of 65 and receive appropriate remuneration.
