Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing the State Government to provide financial assistance for the payment of arrears and current pensions to employees of the Anugraha Narayan Sinha Institute of Social Studies, as mandated by Section 8 of the Anugraha Narayan Sinha Institute of Social Studies Act, 1964. The Court emphasized the statutory obligation of the State Government to contribute funds for the maintenance of the Institute, thereby reinforcing the legal principle that statutory duties must be fulfilled. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
