Judgment text excerpt
The case concerns whether employees of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation are entitled to receive pension and dearness relief at enhanced rates equivalent to those provided to State Government employees. The respondents sought a declaration of entitlement based on their absorption from the State Transport Department and protected service conditions. The Supreme Court examined the applicability of the Kerala Service Rules (KSR) and the Road Transport Corporation Act, 1950, to determine the Corporation's liability for these enhanced benefits.
