As per case facts, Chandigarh Administration challenged a CAT Order allowing teachers to continue service until 65 years, based on "Dr. Jogender Pal Singh's case." Teachers, who retired at 58
...and rejoined after returning benefits, sought salary arrears for the intervening period. The Administration had withdrawn an appeal against "Dr. Jogender Pal Singh's case" and amended rules setting retirement at 65 from 01.04.2022. The Administration argued the previous judgment incorrectly relied on precedents and the Supreme Court kept the legal question open regarding service extension. The question arose whether teachers were entitled to service until 65 years and if they should receive salary arrears for the period out of service. Finally, the High Court affirmed service extension to 65 years, citing non-discrimination and rule amendments. It denied actual salary arrears for those who retired and rejoined, as they received retirement benefits and the legal question was open. However, it granted notional increments for salary fixation. Teachers who continued service via interim orders were granted actual arrears.
