'Judgement dated 20-3-2024 of DHC in WP 6002 of 2016'

This is a very important judgment. The SLP filed by the Central Government was dismissed by the Supreme Court.

Two important decisios to be noted are as follows:

1.The pension  for pre-2006  pensioners should be revised  corresponding to the revised scale after the Recommendations of the 6th CPC as held by the Tribunal. This means that revising the pension at  the minimum of the revised scale does not provide parity.

2 That the effective date  for such revision as per the OM issued should be from the date of filing the QA  was not accepted by the SC and it was held that the revised pension was payable w e f 1/1/2006.

This gives pointers to the approach in respect of our case in SC requiring parity of pension  without making distinction based on cut off dates of retirement.

The judgment also emphasizes the need for fixing the effective date of revision  from the date scales were revised.

The judgment also draws upon the ratios of D S Nakara, SPS Veins  and Manipur Pensioners case judgments which are relevant  to our case.

We need to add this judgment also for support to our case in the next hearing.
