Accountant General, M.P vs S.K.Dubey & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the entitlement of a former Judge of the Madhya Pradesh High Court to pension for his service as President of the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The Court held that the service rendered in this capacity should be counted for pension purposes as per the order dated April 5, 2002, issued by the State Government, which allows for combining pensions from both positions, provided it does not exceed the maximum pension for High Court judges. The Court ruled in favor of the respondent, affirming his right to receive the pension as recommended by the State Government.
