Union Of India vs Anup Kumar Roy

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Guwahati High Court, affirming the Central Administrative Tribunal's ruling that the respondent, who had taken voluntary retirement before the establishment of Prasar Bharati, was not entitled to benefits under the Memorandum dated 25.2.1999. The Court interpreted Section 11 of the Prasar Bharati (Broadcasting Corporation of India) Act, 1990, emphasizing that the benefits were only available to employees currently in service. The Court concluded that the respondent's claim for benefits was not valid as he was not an incumbent at the time the benefits were applicable.
