Ramesh Kumar vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition challenging the denial of pay and allowances for the period from 01.08.1997 to 13.11.2000, citing the principle of 'no work no pay' as established under the Army Act. The Court noted that the appellant's promotion was granted with ante-dated seniority but without entitlement to retrospective pay due to prior disciplinary actions. The Court affirmed the High Court's ruling, emphasizing that the appellant had no legitimate claim for the disputed pay and allowances.
