Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that pension increment arrears must be paid retrospectively only to employees who succeeded in prior writ petitions, as per Supreme Court's directions in M. Siddaraj and Vidyut Mandal Pension Samaj. The court clarifies that interest is not applicable, and res judicata governs eligibility for arrears.

The Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that an 11-year delay in challenging termination orders, without valid medical evidence, constitutes laches, barring judicial relief under writ jurisdiction.
