STATE OF RAJASTHAN vs RAJRANI YADAV — SLP(C) No. 26821/2025

Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 026821/2025 The Supreme Court referred the matter to a larger bench to resolve conflicting precedents on whether allopathy (MBBS) and AYUSH (indigenous medicine) doctors can have equal retirement age and service conditions. The Court found substantial differences in qualifications, functions, and work—MBBS doctors perform critical care, surgeries, and emergency interventions unavailable to AYUSH practitioners—justifying differential treatment. Pending final determination, States may continue AYUSH doctors beyond their superannuation age without full pay, or they're entitled to half-pay, adjustable against future benefits if the larger bench rules in their favor.
