#Policy Implementation

The Himachal Pradesh High Court has ordered the Empowered Committee to reassess rejected pension applications under the 23.04.2018 policy within four months, affirming that prior administrative inaction cannot override statutory entitlements. This ruling reinforces that individual cases must be reviewed afresh when precedent mandates policy-based reconsideration, directly impacting thousands of pending pension claims across central services.

Uttarakhand High Court rules that unregistered solar units under the Industrial Development Scheme 2017 cannot be denied benefits outright; the Empowered Committee must conduct an individual review as mandated by Clause 6.1. This ensures equal protection and prevents arbitrary denial of incentives to eligible industrial units.
