Vinod Kulshreshtha vs Uoi And Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the Writ Petition challenging the Central Administrative Tribunal's orders regarding the fixation of pay and terminal benefits under the Office Memorandums dated 31.07.1986 and 20.01.1991. The Court confirmed that the appellant's prior service in the Indian Navy could be counted for pensionary benefits upon fulfilling the conditions set forth in the O.M.s, including the deposit of gratuity. The Court found no merit in the appellant's claims for re-fixation of pay, thereby affirming the Tribunal's decision.
