SMT. PREM DEVI & ANOTHER vs DELHI ADMINISTRATION & ORS.

The Supreme Court ruled that the petitioners, former employees of Nari Niketan absorbed into the Delhi Administration, are entitled to pensionary benefits similar to those granted to Smt. Rekha Mehta under Article 32 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that the Delhi Administration's failure to extend these benefits to the petitioners, despite their identical service conditions, was unjustified. The Court ordered the Delhi Administration to calculate and pay the pensionary benefits to the petitioners within three months, reinforcing the principle of equal treatment in service matters.
