Government jobs me ek fixed superannuation age hota hai – jaise 58 ya 60 years, department-specific variations ke sath. Is age par normally employee automatically retire ho jata hai; yeh contract ka built-in term hota hai.
Employees kabhi-kabhi argue karte hain ki unka performance acha hai, isliye unko extension milni chahiye. Law general position yeh rakhta hai ki extension right nahi, sirf discretionary privilege hai – special situations, rare cases, essential roles. Policy aur rules define kar sakte hain ki kin posts pe extension possible hai.
Agar government selectively kuch logon ko hi extend kare, clear criteria ke bina, to others challenge kar sakte hain – discrimination, arbitrariness grounds pe. Par courts usually service policy matters me limited interference dikhate hain.
Pre-mature retirement (public interest me) aur normal superannuation alag cheezein hain; pehla performance/ integrity test ke sath linked hota hai, doosra pure age cut-off.
Employees ko realistically retirement planning, post-retirement work options, aur financial discipline pe focus karna chahiye, sirf extension expectation pe nahi.
