Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the computation of pension and retiral benefits for a government servant who was compulsorily retired following a disciplinary inquiry. The Court held that the pension should be calculated based on the revised pay scales, as the appellant was entitled to benefits under the revised scales effective from 1.1.1986. The judgment of the Central Administrative Tribunal was set aside, and the case was remanded for recalculation of the pension accordingly, ensuring that the period of suspension counted as qualifying service for pension purposes.
