The Punjab and Haryana High Court today ruled that the decision to enhance the employees’
retirement age from 58 to 60 by the previous government was not an honest decision.
It Held that “This court does not find any infirmity in the decision of the state government in
reducing the age of retirement of the petitioners from 60 years to 58 years,” Justice Dhindsa
concluded.
The state Assembly elections were around the corner. The Model Code of Conduct was on the
verge of being imposed. The decision to enhance the age of retirement and that too in
derogation of the relevant rule can only be seen as an attempt to garner a particular
vote bank…. — HC Bench
