Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the retirement age for the appellants was 60 years instead of 58 years, thus ruling that their premature retirement was incorrect. However, the Court concurred with the High Court's denial of back wages for the two additional years of service due to the belated approach of the writ petitioners. The appellants are entitled to pension benefits based on the revised retirement age, effective from January 1, 2020, but not to any arrears.
