UNION OF INDIA vs P. M. JAYARAJAN

The Supreme Court held that the second proviso to Article 934 of the Civil Service Regulations, which pertains to pension conversion rates for civil service officers, cannot be applied due to changes in law following the Constitution (Twenty-eighth Amendment) Act, 1972. The Court clarified that Article 312-A empowers Parliament to modify the conditions of service regarding pensions, thus superseding previous regulations. Consequently, the High Court's decision to grant the respondent a higher conversion rate was overturned, aligning with the new legislative framework.
