¶158

“The Appellants above named submits that the issue for consideration in this Appeal - payment of pension on the basis of contributions made on actual wages - was considered by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in EPF Organisation and another vs Sunilkumar B and others.

¶159

Disposing of a series of connected Civil Appeals, on 4^th Nov 2022, certain directions have been issued to the rival parties according to which all the eligible Respondents shall exercise their options under Para 11(3) of the Pension Scheme, 1995 within the stipulated time and the Appellant - EPF Organisation shall consider the same and transfer the fund from the corpus of the Provident Fund to that of the Pension Fund so as to enable the Pension Fund to pay higher pensions to such pensioners.

¶160

Following the said Judgment, WA 51/2021 and WA 100642/2019 have been disposed of by the Principal Bench and this Bench, respectively.

¶161

Accordingly these Appeals also be so disposed of giving liberty to the eligible Respondents to exercise such option so as to enable the Appellant to take appropriate action.

¶162

It is accordingly prayed.”

¶164

Learned counsel for the appellant submits that

¶165

in light of the judgment of the Apex Court in the case of Employees Provident Fund Organization and another Vs. Sunil Kumar b. and others¹ , the employees have been conferred right to exercise their option within stipulated time, which has been extended. Accordingly, it is submitted that the appeal may be disposed of reserving liberty to the employees to exercise the said option as referred above, upon which, the appellants would take appropriate action.

In light of the submission made by the counsel

¶167

for the appellants and in light of the statement that the time for exercising option is still open, matter is disposed of without further adjudication as it would not prejudice the interest of the employees as the employees would be benefitted in terms of the direction of the Apex Court by exercising option within an extended time. Accordingly,
