Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of writ petitions by the Madras High Court regarding the appellants' claims for absorption as Additional District Judges and their entitlement to retiral benefits, including pension and gratuity. The Court reiterated the principles established in Brij Mohan Lal Vs. Union of India, emphasizing the ad hoc nature of the appointments under the Eleventh Finance Commission and the lack of entitlement to regularization or benefits. The Court affirmed that the appellants, having served in Fast Track Courts, were not entitled to the same benefits as regular judges, leading to the dismissal of their appeals.
