Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the orders discontinuing the pension scheme for the members of the Kangra Central Cooperative Bank Pensioners Welfare Association. The court found that the withdrawal of the scheme was contrary to the provisions of the policy and that the authority acted beyond its powers. The court directed that the scheme be reconsidered by the General House, emphasizing the need for adherence to proper procedures in policy changes.
