Later on in 1993 Ordinance 6 of 1993 was promulgated which substituted once again clause (a). Shortly thereafter Ordinance 12 of 1993 was promulgated which introduced a new Section 3 in Ordinance 6 of 1993. By this new section it was sought to nullify the amendments brought by Act 3 of 1990. After its substitution by Ordinance 6 of 1993 this clause (a) read as follows:-
�(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Act. Ordinance, Rules or any judgment or decree of Court, the date of retirement of a teaching employee of the University or of a College shall be the date on which he attains the age of sixty years. The date of retirement of no-teaching employee (other than the inferior servants) shall be the date on which he attains tha age of 60 years.
Provided that the date of retirement of such non-teaching employee who is the service of the University prior to the commencement of the Bihar State Universities Act, 1976 (Bihar Act 23, 1976) shall be the date on which he attains the age of 62 years;
Provided further that the University shall in no case, extend the period of service of any of the teaching or non-teaching employee or appoint him after he attains the age of sixty or sixty two years, as the case me be.�
Section 3 added by Ordinance 12 of 1993 read as follows:-
�3 Repeal and Savings.- (1) Amendment made in Section 67 of the Bihar State Universities Act, 1976 (Bihar Act 23 of 1976) by the Bihar Act, 3 of 1990 is hereby repealed.

The next Ordinance in series i.e. Ordinance 14 of 1993 again substituted this clause while retained the nullification of amendments brought by Act of 1993. The so substituted clause (a) and the clause for �repeal� read as follows:-
�(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Act or any other Act, Ordinance, Ruled or any judgment or decree of a Court, the date of retirement of a teaching employee of the University or of a College shall be the date on which the attains the age of sixty
