Pension Entitlement Under Service Law | Autonomous Institution Employees Cannot Claim Government Pension Despite Pay Parity : Bombay HC

The ruling clarifies that government servant status requires statutory recognition, not merely functional alignment, and rejects promissory estoppel claims for pension benefits.
