Article 14 & Pay Revision Retrospectivity | VRS Recipients Entitled to 1997 Pay Scale Benefits from Effective Date : Calcutta HC
Calcutta HC rules that denying 1997 pay revision benefits to VRS retirees while granting them to officers violates Article 14. The court held that accrued pay scale rights survive retirement, mandating arrears payment from January 1, 1997, within four months from the Rs. 417 crore corpus. This sets a precedent for equal treatment in pay revisions under service law.
