STATE OF A.P.& ANR. ETC. vs A.P. PENSIONERS ASSOCIATION .

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals against the Andhra Pradesh High Court's decision which set aside the A.P. Administrative Tribunal's order rejecting the pensioners' claims for revised pay scales. The Court interpreted the Government Order No. GO (P) No. 114 and the A.P. Revised Scales of Pay Rules, 1999, specifically focusing on the eligibility for revised pay for those who retired between 1-7-1998 and 31-3-1999. The Court held that the pensioners are entitled to the revised pay scales effective from 1.7.1998, but clarified that no monetary benefits would be granted for any period prior to 1.4.1999, thereby upholding the Government's stipulations regarding the implementation of the pay revision.
