UNION OF INDIA vs TARSEM SINGH

The Supreme Court upheld the Division Bench's decision granting the respondent disability pension 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 and recurring wrongs in service law, referencing Section 22 of the Limitation Act, 1963, and established that a continuing wrong allows for claims beyond typical limitation periods. The Court affirmed the entitlement to arrears for 16 years, along with interest at 6% per annum, thereby reinforcing the rights of employees against ongoing injustices.
