Calcutta Port Trust & Ors vs Anadi Kumar Das (Capt) & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the non-compliance of its earlier order dated 13.11.2013 by the Calcutta Port Trust regarding the disbursement of pension arrears to the applicant-respondent. The Court emphasized that the respondent was permitted to switch from the CPF scheme to the pension scheme as per the Circular dated 19.02.1986, and the delay in exercising this option was condoned. However, the Court noted the financial implications of granting the relief sought, which could lead to substantial liabilities for the Trust, and ultimately held that the application for modification of the earlier order was not maintainable.
