Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Karnataka High Court, affirming the rejection of the appellant's claim for re-fixation of pension under the government orders dated 14.12.1983, 20.3.1986, and 19.1.1994. The Court reiterated the principles established in D.S. Nakara v. Union of India regarding pension benefits for government servants who retired voluntarily before 1.12.1985. The Court found that the appellant's claims lacked merit and did not warrant interference, thus dismissing the appeal.
