Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the calculation of revised pensions for pre-1996 pensioners in Manipur. The court found that the method of calculating pensions for these individuals was arbitrary and violated Article 14 of the Constitution, which guarantees equality before the law. Consequently, the court set aside the High Court's decision that had quashed the earlier ruling in favor of the pensioners, thereby reinstating the Single Judge's order.
