State Of A.P. & Anr vs A.P. Pensioners Association & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Andhra Pradesh High Court which set aside the A.P. Administrative Tribunal's order rejecting the pensioners' claims for revised pay scales as per the recommendations of the Pay Revision Commission. The Court interpreted the Government Order No. GO (P) No. 114, particularly clauses 9 and 16, affirming that retired employees are entitled to the revised pay scales effective from 1st July 1998, with financial benefits from 1st April 1999. The ruling emphasized the applicability of the A.P. Revised Scales of Pay Rules, 1999, ensuring pensionary benefits are calculated based on the revised scales.
