P.V. SUNDARARAJAN vs U O I

The Supreme Court addressed the pension rights of Central Government employees absorbed into Public Sector Undertakings, referencing Rule 37A of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972. The Court held that employees who commuted their pension are not entitled to benefits under the Common Cause judgment if they have ceased to be Central Government pensioners. The ruling clarified that the provisions regarding commutation do not infringe Article 14 of the Constitution, as the petitioners belong to a different class than those in the Common Cause case.
