Patna : The Patna High Court on Aug 20 ordered to rise the retirement age of teachers of the colleges and universities across Bihar from 62 to 65 years in conformity with the recommendations of the University Grants Commission (UGC).
A single bench of Justice Navniti Prasad Singh passed the order while disposing a batch of writ applications filed by teachers, including Sunidhi Pandey, seeking enhancement in the retirement age as per the UGC recommendations.
Justice Singh ruled that the order would take effect from June 30, 2010 and those who retired from that day would get re-employment with consequential benefits. The state government had in principle decided to raise the retirement age limit from 62 years to 65 years.
