Shiv Autar Sharma and 10 Others v. State of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Irrigation Deptt. U.P. Lko. and 2 Others
Case brief
What is this about?
Part-time Tube-well Operators sought counting of their long pre-regularization service for pension. The Court held they were covered by Prem Singh, found the State's validation enactments ineffective against that ruling, held post-2005 regularization irrelevant, and rejected contrary precedents as distinguishable or per incuriam.
What did the court decide?
Orders denying pensionary benefits quashed by certiorari; mandamus to count part-time Tube-well Operator service as qualifying service for pension, calculation and payment within four months.
