Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming that the respondents, who were temporary employees of PEPSU Roadways, were transferred to the PEPSU Road Transport Corporation upon its creation under the Road Transport Corporation Act, 1950. The Court clarified that the respondents' claim for pension under the Regulations of 1992 was not valid as they had already received their retiral benefits under the earlier 1957 Regulations. The Court held that the Regulations of 1992 could not be applied retrospectively to grant pension benefits to the respondents, thus dismissing their appeal.
