The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's cassation appeal regarding his right to early retirement. Although a Constitutional Court ruling declared certain provisions discriminatory against men, the lower courts applied the law based on the mixed criteria of age and gender rather than gender alone. The Supreme Court held that the Constitutional Court's decision does not retroactively invalidate decisions made under the existing mixed criteria.
