Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to grant pension to R.K. Agrawal for the period from 26th July 1979 to 22nd July 1982, referencing Rule 158 of the Rajasthan Service Rules. The Court found that the State of Rajasthan's claim that Agrawal was not in service during that period was unsubstantiated. Additionally, the Court ruled that Agrawal was entitled to interest on the delayed payment of his pension, emphasizing the State's responsibility for the 20-year delay in disbursement.
