N.D.P. Namboodripad vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the pension fixation of a retired High Court Judge under the High Court Judges (Conditions of Service) Act, 1954, specifically examining the correctness of the pension calculation under clause 2(a) and the addition of figures under clauses (a) and (b) of Part III of the 1st Schedule. The Court held that the method used by the Division Bench of the High Court was correct and that the appellant's claim for a higher pension was not substantiated. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision on pension fixation.
