Hari Chand And Others vs Faridabad Complex Administration & ...

The Supreme Court held that employees transferred under the Faridabad Complex (Regulation and Development) Act, 1971 are entitled to pensionary benefits equivalent to those of State Government employees, as their service conditions were governed by the Punjab Civil Services Rules applicable in Haryana. The Court found that the appellants, who were employees of the Faridabad Development Board, had a legitimate expectation for such benefits due to the transfer of their services to the Faridabad Complex Administration. The appeals were allowed, and the High Court's orders were set aside, directing the administration to extend the benefits accordingly.
