The Supreme Court examined whether contractual service rendered by an employee should be counted as qualifying service for pension benefits. The High Court had directed that such contractual service be considered as temporary service for pension calculations, which the appellants challenged. The Court analyzed the nature of contractual employment and the relevant pension rules, ultimately upholding the High Court's decision. The judgment emphasizes the importance of equitable treatment of contractual employees in pension matters.
