Learned counsel for the petitioners has drawn the
attention of this Court to the fact that at the time of
appointment of the petitioners, their age of retirement was 58
years which was the age of superannuation of all the services
under the State of Bihar. Thereafter, the age of
superannuation was enhanced from 58 years to 60 years for all
the services. Afterwards, an amendment was carried out in
Rule 73 of the Bihar Service Code in the year 2009 whereby
the retirement age of members of Bihar Health Service as well
as Bihar Medical Service Education was enhanced to 62 years.
A parity was also given, in matter of superannuation, to the
cadre of Indigenous Medical Education Service as well.
Thereafter, in the year 2010 another amendment was made in
Rule 73 of the Bihar Service Code, extending the age of
superannuation of Insurance Medical Service Cadre to 62
years. This followed suit and in all other services of similar
cadre, the age of retirement was extended to 62 years from 60
years. Now, the age of superannuation for the Bihar Health
Service Cadre has been extended to 65 years.
