Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the pension rights of Central Government employees absorbed in Public Sector Undertakings, referencing Rule 37A of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972. The Court held that employees who fully commuted their pension do not belong to the same class as those partially commuting their pension, thus not entitled to benefits from the 'Common Cause' judgment. The Court upheld the validity of the impugned Office Memorandum which denied benefits to those who ceased to be Central Government pensioners upon absorption.
