MD. ALI IMAM vs THE STATE OF BIHAR THR. ITS CHIEF SECRETARY

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 arbitrary and violated the principles established in D.S. Nakara & Ors. v. Union of India, which emphasizes equality in pension benefits. The Court ultimately ruled in favor of the appellants, recognizing their right to the benefits under the amended scheme.
