B.L.ARORA vs CHAIRMAN & MANAGING DIR.,SYNDICATE BANK

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a writ petition by the Delhi High Court regarding the computation of pension for an employee of Syndicate Bank who had prior military service. The Court interpreted Regulation 24 of the Syndicate Bank (Employees) Pension Regulations, 1995, which explicitly states that military service shall not count as qualifying service for pension. The Court held that while military service is considered for seniority and pay fixation, it does not extend to pension benefits, affirming the High Court's ruling.
