BIHAR STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD vs BIHAR POWER WORKERS UNION . — C.A. No. 420/2001

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Bihar State Electricity Board's appeal on March 6, 2002. The case concerned whether employees' retirement age should be determined by the average of minimum and maximum ages set by the Medical Board (Board's policy) or by the lesser age determined by the Medical Board (High Court's view). The Court upheld the High Court's decision, finding the Board's averaging policy was not accurate when employees were actually determined to be of lesser age by the Medical Board, and thus the High Court's interference was justified.
