Retirement age @ 58 is
justified – Punjab & Haryana High court
The Punjab and
Haryana High Court today ruled that the decision to enhance the employees’ retirement age from 58 to 60 by the previous Congress
government led by Bhupinder Singh Hooda was an attempt to garner votes just
before the Assembly elections; and was not an honest decision. The scathing
observations on the previous government’s conduct came as Justice Tejinder
Singh Dhindsa upheld the Khattar government’s decision of reducing the age from
60 to 58.
Justice Dhindsa ruled: “The timing of such
decision cannot be lost on this court. 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… “This court would have no hesitation in
holding that the action of
the state government in reversing the earlier decision of
enhancing the age of retirement from 58 years to 60 years by terming the same
to be not honest is well founded”, he said. The Hooda Government had last year increased
the retirement age of the employees by two years to 60,
shortly before the October 15 Assembly election.
