Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd. & Anr vs Ajit Kumar Kar & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision directing the appellants to provide retrial benefits to the respondents under the Central Government Pension Scheme as per the Office Memorandum dated 13th January 1986. The Court emphasized that employees who opted to retain their pensionary benefits under the Government rules are entitled to those benefits upon retirement. The judgment affirmed the legal principle that pension rights must be honored as per the terms agreed upon at the time of transfer to a Public Sector Undertaking, thereby reinforcing the applicability of the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1972.
