#appointment delay

Calcutta High Court rules that employees empanelled but denied timely appointment letters due to state delay are entitled to notional service benefits from the empanelment date. The judgment reinforces that administrative lapses cannot deprive employees of retirement benefits, setting a precedent for similar public employment disputes.

MP High Court rules that employees selected before 01.01.2005 are entitled to the Old Pension Scheme under MP Civil Services Pension Rules 1976, even if appointed later, if delays are attributable to administrative lapses. The judgment reinforces legitimate expectation and protects employees from being penalized for procedural delays beyond their control.
