Petitioner, relying on Ext.P2 judgment, wherein this court allowed the petitioner therein to continue in service upto 58 years, contends that she is also similarly situated employee and therefore entitled for similar treatment.

State of Tamil Nadu & others (2013) 7 SCC 335; Jagadish Prasad Sharma v. State of Bihar (2013) 8 SCC 633 and Sta
