Good News! Now there will be no ‘forced’ retirement in 60 years? A court decision raised new hope

A tradition has been going on for years… as soon as a government employee turns 60, he is sent off with great respect by giving him a watch and a bouquet, even if he still has the enthusiasm to work and a wealth of experience left. But now a very big and legitimate question has arisen on this ‘forced’ farewell. Delhi High Court has given such a historic decision, which has brought a new ray of hope for crores of employees of the country, and the discussion has spread like wildfire whether the retirement age is going to increase now? What did the court say? Delhi High Court has said a very simple and true thing. The court has said that someone cannot be retired just because his age has reached 60 in the calendar. The decision of retirement should be taken considering the mental and physical fitness of the employee. The court says that it is wrong to make age the basis alone, because the capabilities of every person are different. This one decision has rekindled hope in the hearts of millions of experienced employees who felt that they had been considered ‘old’ before their time. So why is this question being raised now? (Reason for change) Just think, 30-40 years ago, 60 was considered a very old age. But today: Health services have improved: Today the medical facilities in our country are better than ever. People are now living longer and healthier lives than ever before. Even at the age of 60, they are ‘young’: Today, even at the age of 60, many people are completely fit and have years of experience, which is more than any new employee. So the question arises that when a person is completely capable of working, then why should he be sent home just because of a statistic of age? Who will benefit if the age increases? This is a situation in which there is a win on both sides. It will be: For employees: More years of employment: Means more salary and better financial condition. Less worry about old age: More savings for life after retirement. Respect in society: Self-respect remains if you stay connected to work. For the government: A wealth of experience: The government will get the support of experienced employees, due to which the quality of work will be better. Teaching new people: These experienced people can help in preparing the new generation. What will happen next? Delhi After this decision of the High Court, now the pressure has increased on the government to reconsider its old retirement policy. If this new rule is implemented, it will bring a huge and positive change in the lives of crores of employees. This decision is not just a court order but the beginning of a new thinking, which believes that a person’s ability is much bigger than his age figures.
