Central Council For Research In ... vs Bikartan Das

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to grant Dr. Bikartan Das the benefit of an enhanced retirement age from 60 to 65 years, as applicable to AYUSH doctors. The court found that the Central Administrative Tribunal's earlier ruling was incorrect and emphasized the need for uniformity in retirement age across similar categories of employees. Consequently, the appeal by the Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences was dismissed, affirming the rights of the respondent.
