Subha Prasad Nandi Majumdar vs The State Of West Bengal Service

The Supreme Court examined whether a government notification extending retirement age to 65 years applies to a university employee in West Bengal who did not meet the 10-year continuous teaching condition. The Court analyzed the interpretation of the term 'any university' in the context of the Notification and the parent Act. It concluded that the Notification was intended to include employees from all universities, not just those constituted by State Acts, emphasizing the purpose of distinguishing between state-aided and private institutions. The Court's decision clarified the scope of the Notification concerning university employees outside West Bengal, ultimately upholding the appellant's claim.
