BRAHMA SINGH vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court ruled that the service rendered by employees of the Supreme Court Legal Aid Committee prior to the promulgation of the Supreme Court Legal Services Committee Rules, 2000, must be counted as qualifying service for pension determination. The Court emphasized that the petitioners' claims were supported by a prior judgment in Writ Petition (Civil) No. 267 of 2008, which recognized their entire service for pay and allowances. The Union of India’s rejection of their claims was deemed unjustified, leading to the Court's directive to include all service for pension calculations.
