KURIAN, J.

Diary Nos.22719/2017, 23413/2017, 23403/2017, 23702/2017, 22083/2017, 22777/2017, 16514/2017, 19914/2017, 16216/2017, 19908/2017, 23407/2017 & 23701/2017 are taken on Board.

2. Permission to file special leave petition(s) is granted.

3. Delay condoned.

4. Leave granted.

5. The appellants approached this Court with certain grievances regarding their continuance in service up to 60 years of age.

6. According to the Government Companies/Corporation/ Societies where they have been working and which are included in the Schedules IX and X of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act of 2014, since the Government had not granted approval to the recommendation for continuance up to 60 years of age, they would not be entitled to continue until and unless the Government takes a decision.

7. When the matters reached this Court, this Court in some cases had granted an interim order for continuance up to 60 years of age.

8. Be that as it may, learned counsel appearing for the State of Andhra Pradesh has today brought to our notice an order dated 08.08.2017 issued by the Government of Andhra Pradesh whereby such employees have been granted the benefit of continuance up to 60 years of age. It has been ordered that the "said order dated 8.8.2017 .... shall come into force with effect from 02.06.2014".

9. In that view of the matter, we do not think it necessary to retain these appeals in this Court any further. The stand of the Government is very clear. The Government Order dated 08.08.2017 permitting the employees to continue up to the age of 60 years has come into effect with effect from 2.6.2014. Therefore, all employees who have superannuated on account of attainment of age of 58 years on 02.06.2014 or thereafter are entitled to the protection of their service up to 60 years of age and naturally to all consequential benefits arising therefrom.

10. The appeals are, accordingly, disposed of.

11. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of.

12. There shall be no orders as to costs.
