State Of U.P. & Ors vs Laxmi Shanker Gupta

The Supreme Court remitted the matter to the Allahabad High Court regarding the calculation of post-retiral benefits for a Hindi Lecturer, emphasizing the need for a detailed investigation under Section 33 of the Uttar Pradesh State Universities Act, 1973, and Regulation 15.05 of the University Statute. The Court set aside the High Court's order dated 31.3.2003, which had directed the addition of prior service for pension calculation without sufficient reasoning. The Supreme Court requested the High Court to resolve the writ petition within six months, allowing both parties to submit additional pleadings.
