Nageswara Rao and Justice Hrishikesh Rao, after hearing the parties and agreeing with the findings of the Tribunal and the Delhi High Court, yesterday observed, “The only difference is that AYUSH doctors are using indigenous systems of medicine like Ayurveda and Unani, while CHS doctors are using Allopathy for tending to their patients. In our understanding, the mode of treatment by itself under the prevalent scheme of things does not qualify as an intelligible differentia.” Please join our high court related Whatsapp group send your name and city to this number 8109957050. The petition has been filed by the North Delhi Municipal Corporation, challenging the order of the Central Administrative Tribunal that declared that the applicants who are ayurvedic doctors covered under AYUSH, are also entitled to the benefit of enhanced superannuation age of 65 years (raised from 60 years), just like the allopathic doctors.

Senior Advocate R Balasubramaniam, appearing for the appellant, contended that the benefit of enhanced retirement age should have been extended only with effect from September 27, 2017 as per the AYUSH Ministry’s decision, as there is limited scope for interference on a cut-¬off date, stipulated by the government.
