It was his case that he was entitled to continue till the age of 60. The stand of the Municipality before the Labour Court was that the Municipality had power to retire a municipal servant at any time on or after he attains the age of 55 years on giving him three months&#8217; notice according to Rule 5 of the Rules framed under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000525483\">271<\/a> of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/C81ClUkJ\">Gujarat Municipalities Act, 1963<\/a>. The Labour Court had allowed the petitions and ordered reinstatement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court held that it was within the powers of the municipality in exercise of powers under  Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000525483\">271<\/a> of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/C81ClUkJ\">Gujarat Municipalities Act, 1963<\/a> to frame rules. Proviso to Rule 5 indicates that the action can be taken by a municipality against an employee where employee reaches the age of superannuation. This, of course, is subject to he being given three months notice and notice pay in lieu thereof.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Relying on the decision of a Division Bench of Gujarat High Court in context of the same municipality dated 03-03-2020 rendered in Special Civil Application Nos. 22332 of 2005, the Court affirmed that the section gives specific powers to make rules and the operation of Rule 5 and consequential retirement was held valid. The petitions were allowed finding that there was sufficient compliance of Rule 5, inasmuch as, notice of three months was given.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Chief Officer v.
