UNION OF INDIA vs BHANWAR LAL MUNDAN

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Rajasthan High Court affirming the Central Administrative Tribunal's ruling that quashed the order of pay refixation for Shri Bhanwar Lal Mundan, a retired employee. The Court noted that the tribunal's reliance on precedents such as Inder Pal Yadav v. Union of India and others, and others was justified, as the fixation of pension should be based on the last drawn pay. The Court held that the directions for pension fixation were neither illegal nor arbitrary, thus dismissing the appeal by the Union of India.
