STATE OF GUJARAT vs DR. R.B. CHANDRACHUD

The Supreme Court held that the Huzur order dated February 8, 1948, which fixed the pension and retirement benefits of the respondent, was binding despite the subsequent order by the new Executive Council on July 22, 1948, which attempted to modify it. The Court ruled that the provisions of the Baroda Merger Agreement recognized the claims relating to retirement benefits, and thus the respondent was entitled to the compensation amount. The Court upheld the lower courts' decisions, affirming the validity of the original Huzur order and rejecting the Executive Council's attempt to revoke it.
