Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to strike down 'The Bihar State Government Employees Revision of Pension, Family Pension and Death-cum-Retirement Gratuity (Validation and Enforcement) Act, 2001' as it was enacted to circumvent a prior ruling that quashed earlier notifications regarding pension revisions. The Court emphasized that legislative actions cannot be used to negate judicial decisions, reinforcing the principle of separation of powers. Consequently, the Court affirmed the High Court's judgment, maintaining the status quo for pensioners as per the earlier ruling.
