ASSAM MADHYAMIK SIKSHAK ARU K.S., NAGAON vs STATE OF ASSAM — C.A. No. 8854/1996

Case Summary The Supreme Court upheld Section 4(3) of the Assam Secondary Education (Provincialisation) Act, 1977, requiring teachers in provincialised schools to retire at age 58 (or 60 for Grade V) as a valid policy-based distinction. However, the Court directed that teachers who continued service until age 60 without exercising pension/CPF options must redeposit any withdrawn CPF and be treated as government employees entitled to full pensionary benefits at age 58, matching benefits given to similarly-situated teachers by state resolution.
