Municipal Committee, Mansa, Punjab vs Darshan Singh And Ors.

The Supreme Court held that the entitlement of the Respondent to pension under the Punjab Municipal Employees Pension and Generic Provident Fund Rules hinges on whether the pension should be calculated from the date of initial appointment (17th July, 1954) or from the date of Provident Fund contribution (1st February, 1968). The Court found that the High Court erred in not considering the Appellant's stand and thus set aside the High Court's judgment, remanding the matter for reconsideration. The appeal was allowed without costs.
