State of Kerala v. Sumayamma George
Kerala HCWA/916/2021
Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
Retired aided-college teachers claimed that service rendered in leave vacancies before their regular appointment should count towards pension. The single judge struck down the word 'regular' in Rule 14E(b), Part III KSR. The Division Bench held that leave-vacancy service confers no lien and never qualified for pension, and allowed the State's appeals.
What did the court decide?
Writ appeals allowed; the impugned judgments of the learned single judge set aside and the writ petitions dismissed.
