Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning employment rights of individuals working in pension offices in Nepal, asserting that Article 14 of the Constitution, which guarantees equality before the law, is applicable even to employees posted abroad. The Court held that the Central Administrative Tribunal's view that the pension office in Nepal is not an extension of Indian territory for constitutional purposes was incorrect. The Court directed that the appellants be granted parity in emoluments with their counterparts in India, thereby reinforcing the principle of equality in employment rights.
