JUDICIAL PRECEDENTS
In D.S. Nakara v. Union of India (1983), the Hon’ble Court held that:
“a homogeneous class of pensioners cannot be fractured by an arbitrary cut-off.
In Col. B.J. Akkara v. Govt. of India (2006) 11 SCC 709, it was held:
“... computation of pension cannot apply unequal treatment merely by date of retirement. Enhanced benefits by subsequent amendment must uniformly apply to the class.”
In Union of India v. Balbir Singh Turn (CA Diary No. 3744/2016), the Hon’ble Supreme Court ruled:
“A Cabinet/ Executive decision cannot be modified by an Administrative instruction. Any administrative instruction contrary to a Cabinet/Executive Resolution is ultra vires.”
