The Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that two staff members of a government‑aided college in Rewa will retire at age 62 and directed the state to clear two years of pending salary and benefits within 90 days.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court delivered a landmark judgment concerning retirement benefits for two employees of a government‑aided college in Rewa. The bench held that the staff members are entitled to retire at the age of 62, aligning their service terms with the state’s revised retirement policy.
The court dismissed the state government's appeal against the order and instructed the administration to release the two‑year salary arrears along with all associated financial benefits. The payment must be completed within 90 days from the date of the judgment.
Legal experts noted that the decision could set a precedent for similar institutions across the state, prompting a review of retirement norms for government‑aided educational establishments. The ruling underscores the judiciary's role in safeguarding employee rights against administrative delays.
The college, which receives regular state funding, has not commented publicly on the court's directive. Meanwhile, the state government is expected to file a compliance report once the dues are settled.
