HC seeks Centre, CBI, ED’s response on Christian Michel’s extradition provision plea

- UDAYAN KISHORE @New Delhi

THE Delhi High Court on Monday ruled that the retirement age of 60 should be uniformly applied to all the ranks of Indian Coast Guard officers, striking down a rule prescribing different retirement ages for different ranks.

The high court held the rule to be “unconstitutional.” A bench of justices C Hari Shankarand Om Prakash Shukla struck down the provisions of the Coast Guard (General) Rules while saying “vague expressions and exaggerated assumptions have been employed” behind the rule.

The court passed the order while allowing a batch of petitions challenging those rules.
