Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Janak Raj Sharma, who was denied the opportunity to opt for a pension scheme due to late application submission. The court found that the respondent was not informed about the circular in a timely manner, which justified his late application. The decision emphasized the need for fair opportunity and communication from employers regarding benefits, leading to the reversal of the High Court's decision.
