HIGH COURT OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT AMARAVATI W.P.No.16826 of 2026 PROCEEDING SHEET Sl. No. DATE ORDER OFFICE NOTE 1. 25.06.26 VN, J 1. Notice before admission. 2. Learned Government Pleader for Co-operation takes notice for Respondent Nos.1 to 4. 3. Issue notice to Respondent Nos.5 and 6. 4. Learned counsel for the Petitioner is also permitted to take out personal notice to Respondent Nos.5 and 6 by RPAD and file proof of service in the Registry by the next date. 5. The present Writ Petition is filed questioning the action of the Respondents in not extending the benefit of enhanced age of superannuation from 60 to 62 years to the Petitioner pursuant to the resolutions of the Executive Committee as well as the General Body of the Respondent-Society and to declare the same as illegal and arbitrary. 6. The learned Government Pleader submits that the Division Bench of this Court in W.A.No.649 of 2024 had passed an interim order on 11.09.2024 suspending the order of the learned Single Judge with regard to the same relief. 7. Heard the respective counsel. 2 8. The learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that though the Division Bench of this Court in W.A.649 of 2024 had stayed the enhancement of age of superannuation of 62 years, the distinguishable factor in this case is that the General Body as well as the Executive Committee of the Respondent-Society had resolved to enhance the age of its employees on par with the Government employees i.e., 62 years. Apart from that Rule 28(7) of the Andhra Pradesh Co-operative Societies Rules enables the Society to enhance the age of its employees on par with the Government employees. In W.A.No.649 of 2024, the interim orders were passed at the instance of the Co- operative Society which did not pass any General Body or Executive Committee resolution as done in this case. 9. In that view, there shall be interim order as under; (i) The Respondents shall continue the Petitioner till he attains the age of 62 years pending further orders. 10. Post this case along with W.P.No.16226 of 2026. _____ VN, J eha. 3
