1. This writ petition has been preferred for enhancement of age of superannuation for the University teaching staff from 62 years to 65 years in the State of Jharkhand.

2. Counsel for the petitioners submitted that University Grants Commission Regulation, 2010 has been brought into effect with effect from 30th June, 2010 and the Central Government has already enhanced the age of superannuation for the teaching staff from 62 years to 65 years. This has been adopted by the State of Jharkhand and has published as notification (Annexure 7). This notification has been published on 26th December, 2012 and has not been given retrospective effect i.e. with effect from 30th June, 2010. This is the grievance of these two petitioners, as they have already retired from service of the University on 31st July, 2010 and 29th February, 2012 respectively and, therefore, this petition has been preferred by them so that the notification published by the State of Jharkhand enhancing the age of superannuation from 62 years to 65 years may be given retrospective effect so that their age of superannuation can be enhanced.

3. Counsel for the petitioners is relying upon a decision ren
