DAYA NAND vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court ruled that the Punjab Government National Emergency (Concession) Rules, 1965 remain applicable to employees appointed after 1.11.1966 in the Union Territory of Chandigarh, as per Section 88 of the Punjab Reorganisation Act, 1966. The Court held that these rules, which provide benefits related to increments, seniority, promotion, and pension, were not automatically repealed and continued to be effective unless explicitly modified or repudiated. The judgment overturned the decisions of the Central Administrative Tribunal and the High Court, affirming the rights of the concerned employees to claim benefits under the 1965 Rules.
