SV BHIMA BHATTA vs STATE OF KARNATAKA .

The Supreme Court held that the State is not entitled to recover pension already paid to government employees who continued in service beyond the normal superannuation age of 58 years, as the notice was limited to this issue. The Court clarified that the computation of pension should be based on the scale of pay drawn at the time of superannuation at 60 years, but left the larger question of superannuation rights open for future consideration. The appeals were disposed of without costs.
