BIHAR STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD vs AKHIL KRISHNA MITRA

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of pension entitlement for a government servant who was on deputation to the Electricity Board. The Court upheld the High Court's finding that the Board is liable to pay the pension for the period of service under the Board, while the question of pension for the period from June 1950 to August 1959 remains disputed. The Court directed the respondent to make a representation to the Bihar State Government, which must be disposed of with a speaking order within three months, thus leaving the final decision on the disputed period to the Government.
