Md. Ali Imam vs The State Of Bihar Thr. Its Chief ...

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of discrimination against retired employees of deficit grant minority colleges in Bihar regarding the Triple Benefit Scheme, which was amended to exclude those who retired before 31.08.2010. The Court held that the retrospective application of the amendment was not arbitrary, as it was based on a Cabinet decision and financial implications. The Court distinguished the case from D.S. Nakara & Ors. v. Union of India, affirming that the State has the authority to unilaterally change conditions of service, thus upholding the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition.
