State of Kerala v. Prof. Abdul Hameed P.
Case brief
What is this about?
Challenge to an amendment to Rule 14E(b) Part III KSR that confined pensionary counting of prior aided-college service to regular service. The High Court held that service in leave vacancies never qualified for pension because the lien remained with another; no vested right arose. The appeals were allowed and the writ petitions dismissed.
What did the court decide?
Writ appeals allowed; impugned common judgment and subsequent judgments of the learned single judge set aside; writ petitions dismissed.
