H. CHANDRA SHEKAR vs

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, a retired Geologist, is entitled to the benefits of unamended Rule 247A of the Karnataka Civil Service Rules, 1958, for the purpose of calculating his pensionary benefits. The Court found that the appellant had the right to claim this benefit, which was more advantageous than the amended Rule 248. The judgment of the Karnataka Administrative Tribunal was set aside, and the appeal was allowed, directing the respondent to consider the appellant's application for pension fixation within three months.
