In Brief
The case concerned employees of government companies, corporations, and societies in Andhra Pradesh who sought protection to continue working until age 60 instead of the earlier mandatory retirement at age 58. The Supreme Court disposed of multiple consolidated appeals after the Government of Andhra Pradesh issued an order on 08.08.2017 granting continuance up to age 60 with retrospective effect from 02.06.2014. The Court held that all employees who had superannuated at age 58 on or after 02.06.2014 were entitled to service continuation up to age 60 and all related consequential benefits."
