Chairman & M.D., K.S.R.T.C vs K.O. Varghese & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Kerala High Court regarding the pension rights of employees transferred from the Government to the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) under the Road Transport Corporation Act, 1950. The Court clarified that employees retained their pension rights as per the Kerala Service Rules despite being deemed to have vacated their government positions upon transfer. The judgment emphasized that the terms of the transfer and subsequent employment under KSRTC must honor the benefits accrued during their service with the Government, thus ensuring continuity in pension and other benefits.
