Darshan Singh vs The State Of Punjab Secretary Rural ...

The Supreme Court addressed the challenge to the cut-off date for a pension scheme proposed by the Government of Punjab, which was set for implementation from July 1, 1999. The court evaluated the financial implications of altering this date, considering the number of eligible employees and the associated annual liability. Ultimately, the court upheld the government's decision, emphasizing the financial burden on the state exchequer as a valid reason for maintaining the cut-off date.
