Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the dismissal of writ petitions seeking the implementation of the Assured Career Progression Scheme (ACP) for retired employees of the Bihar State Electricity Board. The court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming that the appellants failed to demonstrate entitlement to the ACP benefits from the specified date. The judgment reinforces the principle that benefits must be clearly provided for by policy or resolution to be enforceable.
