State Of Rajasthan vs A.N. Mathur & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the validity of the pension scheme adopted by Maharana Pratap University under the Rajasthan Agricultural University, Udaipur Act, 2000. The Court held that the University, being an autonomous body, failed to consult the appellant-State regarding changes to the retiral benefits scheme, which resulted in an increased financial burden on the State. Consequently, the Court upheld the appellant's order dated 3rd June, 2011, disapproving the pension scheme, and affirmed the withdrawal of the earlier resolutions by the University.
