Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that a retired Army personnel, upon re-employment in government service, is entitled to have their basic pay fixed at the level of their last drawn pay. The court emphasized the applicability of the Central Civil Services (Fixation of Pay of Re-employed Pensioners) Order, 1986, which mandates the protection of pay for re-employed pensioners. The appeal by the Union of India was dismissed, affirming the rights of the respondent.
