The Supreme Court addressed the constitutional validity of the cutoff date for pension entitlement of employees absorbed from the Transport Department into Transport Corporations, as established by the State of Tamil Nadu. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, which found the cutoff date to be unconstitutional and directed a fresh fixation of the cutoff date. The judgment emphasized the need for fair treatment of employees transitioning to new entities, ensuring their rights to pension benefits are preserved.
