Pension from 01 January 2006 rather than 24 September 2012 : Supreme Court dismisses the Review Petition filed by Govt of India
The Govt had
challenged before the Supreme Court the decision of the Delhi High Court
wherein the judgement by the Central Administrative Tribunal granting benefit
of rectification of pensionary anomalies from 01 January 2006 rather than 24
September 2012 was questioned. The order in effect and essence affected
all central govt pensioners, including defence pensioners.
The controversy had
emanated from the fact whether the benefits of the correct pension were to flow
from 01 Jan 2006 which is the date from which the 6th Central
Pay Commission recommendations were implemented or from 24 Sept 2012 when the
Govt had decided to remove the anomalies in the pension structure after the
said Pay Commission. Of course, it was held by Courts that the removal of the
anomalies shall date back to the date of the inception of the said anomalies
and not any later artificial date.
Incorrigible as it
is, the Govt had gone ahead and filed a Review Petition in the matter urging
the Supreme Court to review its order of dismissal of the SLP filed by the
Central Govt.
The Supreme Court
has yesterday dismissed the Review Petition filed by the Govt in the matter
