Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Division Bench's decision granting disability pension to the respondent from the date it fell due, rejecting the limitation of three years and two months prior to the writ petition. The Court emphasized the principles of continuing wrongs and recurring wrongs in service law, establishing that a continuing wrong creates a persistent source of injury, thus allowing claims for arrears beyond the typical limitation period. The Court affirmed the entitlement to interest on arrears at 6% per annum, reinforcing the applicability of these principles in service disputes.
