The Supreme Court upheld the Rajasthan High Court's decision regarding the Provident Fund Scheme and Pension Scheme for employees of Maharana Pratap University of Agriculture and Technology, established under the Rajasthan Agricultural University, Udaipur Act, 2000. The Court clarified that the University, being an autonomous body, is financially dependent on the State for meeting its salary and allowance expenditures as per Section 36 of the Act. The Court ruled that the financial implications of the pension scheme, which increased the burden on the State, must be acknowledged, thereby affirming the High Court's judgment.
