RADHA KISHUN vs UOI

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal, affirming that the petitioner, who was to retire on May 31, 1991, had no right to claim salary and benefits for the period he remained in service until May 31, 1994, as he was not legally entitled to continue post-superannuation. The Court emphasized that allowing such claims would lead to manipulation and illegality. The petition was dismissed, and the Court directed the Government of India to take disciplinary action against officials for failing to enforce the retirement rules.
