Dtc Retired Employees' Association & ... vs Delhi Transport Corporation, Etc .. ...

The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision regarding the implementation of the Pension Scheme for retired employees of the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC), as sanctioned by the Central Government under Article 21 of the Constitution. The Court ruled that retired employees opting for the Pension Scheme must refund the employer's share of the provident fund with interest, affirming the High Court's stance on the applicability of the scheme to those who retired under the Voluntary Retirement Scheme. The Court dismissed the contention that interest should not be charged on the refunded amount, thereby reinforcing the legal obligations of the employees under the scheme.
