Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to strike down Rule 3(3) of the Tripura State Civil Services (Revised Pension) Rules, 2009, which limited the financial benefits of pensioners. The court reasoned that the rule was arbitrary and violated the principles of equality and fairness in pension distribution. Consequently, the State of Tripura was directed to pay the arrears of pension to the petitioner for the specified period.
