The State Of Uttar Pradesh vs Ali Hussain Ansari

The Supreme Court modified the High Court's order regarding the post-retirement benefits of Ali Hussain Ansari, holding that while the period of service from 08.06.1987 to 30.06.2006 should be counted for pensionary benefits, it would not entitle him to back wages for that period. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to the statutory provisions under the Uttar Pradesh Secondary Services Commission (Removal of Difficulties) Order, 1981, and clarified that the absence of a formal appointment letter during that time precluded the payment of salary. The Court ultimately upheld the High Court's decision to grant consequential benefits but limited the scope of those benefits.
