K.V.SANGATHAN vs RAGHUNANDAN BHARGAVA .

The Supreme Court upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's order allowing the first respondent to count his prior service as an Assistant Teacher in the State of Madhya Pradesh towards his pension with Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan. The Court emphasized that the State Government must calculate its pro-rata pension liability based on the Official Memoranda dated 29.8.1984 and 7.2.1986, which clarify the scheme for counting previous service for employees transitioning to central autonomous bodies. The appeal by Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan was dismissed, and directions were issued for timely processing of the pension adjustment.
