Venudhar Mahanti Vs. State of Jharkhand and ors.

Court: Jharkhand

Decided on: Dec-13-2002

ORDERS.J. Mukhopadhaya, J.1. The petitioner has challenged the order contained in Memo No. 52 dated 11th February, 2002 whereby and whereunder it has been ordered to retire the petitioner w.e.f. 31st January, 2002 having completed 40 years of service.2. Admittedly, no rule/guide line has been prescribed by the State for superannuation of a Government employee on completion of 40 years of service. The age of superannuation has been prescribed under Rule 73 of the Bihar Service Code in terms of which a person stands retired on attaining 58 years of age. There is nothing on the record to suggest that any rule or guide line was in vogue prescribing minimum age of 18 years when the petitioner was appointed on 1st February, 1962.3. Similar case fell for consideration before the Patna High Court in Mokhtar Ahmad v. B.S.R.T.C., reported in 1995 (I) PLJR 183. The Patna High Court taking into consideration the provisions of Rules 54 and 73 of the Bihar Service Code, held that an employee stands ...
