Balwant Rai Saluja & Anr Etc.Etc vs Air India Ltd.& Ors on 13 November, 2013

5. Learned counsel for petitioner Sri P. Giri Krishna submits that the 1st respondent failed to see that petitioner initially joined in service in HMT Limited and the service conditions of employees of HMT Limited are one and the same in all the units of HMT Limited. The letter dated 14.06.2001 makes it clear that even after transfer of petitioner to HMT Machine Tools Limited, his service conditions are not changed from that of HMT Limited, as such he is entitled for enhancement of age of superannuation, stresses learned counsel. According to the learned counsel, earlier, on two occasions, when the 3rd respondent had taken a policy decision amending the age of superannuation, HMT Limited had applied the same to 5 employees in all the five units. He emphasizes that in view of the clearance by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), the age of retirement which was enhanced from 58 to 60 years is applicable to all the employees of HMT Limited, hence, directing petitioner to retire at the age of 58 years is illegal, arbitrary, against the principles of natural justice and violative of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India. Learned counsel placed reliance on the judgment of the High Court of Karnataka at Bengaluru in Writ Petition No. 18409 of 2018 (Smt. K.J. Vijayamma v. HMT Limited), the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Union of India v. K.T. Shastri 1 and Balwant Rai Saluja v. Air India Limited 2.
