HANUMANTHA RAO BACHINA Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1. GP FOR SERVICES I 2. GP FOR SERVICES II The Court made the following: THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NYAPATHY VIJAY WRIT PETITION NO: 25022 OF 2025 ORDER: In the present Writ Petition, the Petitioner is seeking for enhancement of age of retirement from 60 years to 62 years pursuant to G.O.Ms.No.15, Finance (HR.IV-FR&LR) Department, dated 31.01.2022. 2. The Petitioner had joined the Andhra Pradesh Education and Welfare Infrastructure Development Corporation (APEWIDC) on 02.09.1986 as a Technical Work Inspector. Subsequently he was promoted as Assistant Engineer and later functioned as Deputy Executive Engineer (FAC) at Bapatla Division. While so, the age of retirement of the employees of the Corporation was enhanced from 58 years to 60 years, pursuant to the directions of the State Government in the year 2017. The State Government again had issued a G.O.Ms.No. 15, dated 31.01.2022 amending the A.P.Superannuation Act, 1984, wherein the age of retirement was enhanced from 60 years to 62 years. The Petitioner, who is due to retire on 30.09.2025 had sought for enhancement of retirement on the ground that the Petitioner should also be entitled for enhanced age of retirement as provided to the employees under G.P.Ms.No.15, dated 31.01.2022. 3. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for the Respondents would submit that this issue is squarely covered by an order of Hon’ble Division Bench of this Court in W.A.No.1033 of 2022 and batch, dated 05.05.2023 with reference to the very same Respondent/ Corporation. 4. A Division Bench of this Court in W.A.No.1033 of 2022 and batch, dated 05.05.2023 specifically dealt with the issue of enhanced age of superannuation regarding employees of Respondent Corporation i.e APEWIDC and rejected the claims for enhanced age of superannuation. In view of the well considered judgment of the Division Bench, the present Writ Petition is devoid of merit and hence dismissed. 5. Having heard the respective counsels and taking note of the W.A.No. 1033 of 2022 and batch, dated 05.05.2023, the present Writ Petition is dismissed. As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. __________________ NYAPATHY VIJAY, J Date: 16.09.2025 KK
