with reference to them in the matter of payment of retirement benerrts cannot be discrrnrinatory and unrealistic. rt is further submitted that when Lhey arc entrtled for three benefits like commutation of pension, gratuity and leav,: encashment and have received the same between or'o7'2o7a and 3".-.o3.2o20, it is arbitrary to give notional benefit of pRC w'e'l'or.o7.2o18 oniy in respect of one of those benerrts i.e. commutation of pension and leaving out the other benefits like gratuit). and leave encashment unaffected by the revision. Therefore, the petitioners seek a direction to the res;pondents to extend the benefit of pay revision arso to thc extent of revision of Retirement Gratuity and Encashment of Earned Leave to the petitioners, who retired prior to 31.O3.2O2O, basing on the pay revised under G.O li4s.No.S5, dated ll.06.202l and pay the differential amount to the petitroners by setting aside para 4(e) and g.2 of G.O.

¶609

4.1 It is further r:ontended that as per para 7 of G.O.Ms.No.55, dated 11.06.2021, the pension of the employees, who retired after O1.OZ.2Olg has to be calculat,3d as per the pay hxed in RPS_202O. Hence, the Government cannot take a dual stand and cannot create two classes/groups of ermployees in allowing the difference of gratuity and Earned Leave Encashment. It is further submitted that all the petitioners have retired after O7.O7.2Olg and were drawing pay under lOrh pRC. The implementation of 1 lth pRC is w.e.f.O t.OZ.2}lg. Since I ltt pRC Report was not submitted by the time of retirement of the petitioners, the

¶610

6 PK, .J WP Nos l4J l.i ?O2l&barch

¶611

encashment of Earned Leave was sanctioned based on the last pay drawn under lOth PRC. But, as 11th pRC came into force w.e.f .Ol.O7.2O1g, pay of the petitioners has to be hxed under l lrh pRC. Therefore, the petitioners are entitled for enhanced/difference amount on the eanchsed Earned Leave due to frxing of the pay under l1rh pRC. It is further submitted that the Pay Commission has submitted its report on 31.72.2020, the earlier PRC date ended on 30.06.201g and the lst pRC of Tela,gana State has to be implemented from 01.07.201g. Therefore, the policy decision taken by the Government in not a owing the revision of retirement gratuity and leave encashment to the petitioners, who have retired during the period OL.O7.2ola and 31.03.2O20, while allowing the same to the employees, who retired after 01 .O4 .2O2O, is arbitrary, unreasonable, unlawful, unconstitutional ald violative of Articles 14, 16 and 2 1 of the Constitution of India. Hence, the cut-off date t.e.Ol.O4.2O2O prescribed by the Government as a policy .decision is not in fair manner. Reliance has also been placed on:

policy decision taken by the Government to allow monetary benefits on revision of pension of RPS-2020 w.e.f.0 1.04.2020. Therefore, there is no dual role in the decision of the Government as alleged by the petitioncrs. Further, there is no arbitrariness in fixing a cut-off date i.e.01.04.2O2O for allowing monetary beneht, as the Government has to take into consideration the financial implications also. It is further contended that even in earlier pay revisions, the effective date of revision of^pension was different from the date of allowing monetary benefit. The encashment of Earned Leave after retirement is based on the pay actually drawn on the date of retirement. Here, the petitioners have not actually drawn^the revised pay as per the RPS-202O, but are deemed to have drawn^the revised pay as hxed in RPS-2O2O scales since the pay ltxation in revised pay scales is notional frorn Ol.O7.2O 18 to 31.03.2O2O. Further, due to financial implications, the Government has taken the^{policy decisionto} pay the arrears arising on account of difference of^{pension,by way of} instalments and also to allow the monetary. benefits to^{the ernpioyeesand} pensioners in RPS and revision of pensions. Learned Special^Government Pleader has further contended that the^{subjectmatterof these Writ} Petitions pertains to the periodical enhancement^{of the pensionarybenefits} to pensioners of the State Government^{along with the periodical pay} revisions given to the serving employees^{as per the recommendationsmade} by the Pay Commission^{constitutedby the State Government.The}

¶632

decisions taken and the Orders issued by the Government are after due consideration of^the recommendations of Pay Commission and the financial implications on the State Exchequer- It is u,elt scl.tled that [he Courts cannot compel the Government to chalge its policy in matters involving expendit-ure. On this ground alone, the writ petitions are liable to be dismissed. It is further contended that there is nothing in the writ petitions to prove that the decision of the Government in tl-re rmpugned orders is arbitrary or discriminatory or beyond the powers and jurisdiction of the Government. It has always been the policy of the State Government to implement the rccommendations of the Pay Commission u,ith regard to revision of pay s<:a Ies or pensionary benehts with prospective monetary effect, though the notional benefit is generally given from an alterior date, keeping in vieu. the gap in the date of submission of the report of the pay Commission and issuance of the GOs thereon, after due consultation and consideration of t-he various hnancial implications involved. However, notwithstanding the heavy burden on the tax payers, money and the earlier precedents, the State Government has decided to give retrospective monetary eflect rv.e.f.01.O4.2O2O though the actual orders of pay revision or revision of pens;ionary benefits were given in the month of June, 2O2 1. The pay revisions always tend to have more beneht to employees who are in service or who joined on or after the said date of revision and they would not naturally appll, to the employees who retired earlier to the date of such

¶635

revision arrd the same is incidental to revisions and cannot be viewed as discriminatory or violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. Therefore, the case laws cited by the petitioners are totally out of context and cannot be applied to the case of the petitioners. Further, this Hon'ble Court, in its order d,ated 17.04.2014 passed in W.P.Nos.39O9O of 2O22 & batch, has set aside the orders passed by the Tribunal in favour of the petitioners therein allowing them the monetary benefits from the date of effective date of RPS-2O 10 instead of cut-off date of allowing monetary benefit and dismissed the Original Applications and the^{petitioners herein} stald similar to them and therefore^prayed to dismiss the^{Writ Petitions.} Reliance has been placed on State oJ A.P. tt.

¶646

From the above, it is thus clear that the employees,^who retired between Ol.O7 .2018 and 31 .O3.202O^are entitled for^revision of^pay notionally. As such, the pension of^{those employees has} to^{be revised} notionally based on the pay revised in^{RPS-2020 and monetary} benefit should be allowecl from O 1 .O4.2O2O only and further no difference on

¶653

¶654

under Article 226 ol the Constitution of India, as held by the Supreme Court in its several^judgments.

¶655

L2l In Anjana Bhattacharjee's case (reJerred supra), the Hon'ble Apex Court, at paras 19 to 22, has held as under:

¶656

"19. In the afor:said decision this Court after considering the earlier decisions of this Court in the cases of State of Punjab v. Boota Singh, (2000) 3 SCC 733 and State of Punjab ,. J.L, Gupta, (2000) 3 SCC 736, rt rs specihcallr observed aIId held that for the grant of additional beneht, which had hnancial implications, the prescription oI a specihc {uture date for conferment of additional benefit, could not be consiclered arbitrary-

¶657

[n the subsequent decision in Bihar Pensioners Samaj (supra), the decision in the cas,: of Amar Nath Goyal (supra) is followed and it is observed and held that financia] constraints could be a valid ground for introducing a cut-oif date while introdur:ing a pension scheme on revised basis. It is further observed and held by this C)ourt in the aforesaid decrsion that fi-xing of a cut,off date for granting of benefits is $.ell within the powers of the Government as long as the reasons therefor are not arbitrary and are based on some rational consideration.

¶658

While apptl ing the law laid dorvn by this Court in the aforesaid decisions to the facts of the case on hand, we are of the opinion that the instant case before us, the cut-off date has been hxed as 01.01.20O9 on a very valid ground i.e., financial constrainL. Therefore, the High Court manifestly erred in striking down the Rule 3 (3) of the Pension Rules, 2009 being arbitrary and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution.

¶659

lo view of the above and for the reasons stated above, the impugned judgment and ordt:r passed by the High Court striking dou'n Rule 3 (3) of the Tripura State civil Services (Revised Pension) Rules, 2OO9 is unsustainable and the same deserves to be quashed and set aside and is accordingly quashed and set aside. Hoq.ever. it is observed that as respondent No. t has already been paid the arrears from tfre date of her retirement pursuant to the interim order passed by this Court. the r;ame shall not be recovered from her. However, striking down

¶661

¶662

of Rule 3(3) of the Tripura State Civil Services (Revised pension) Rules, 2009 by the impugned judgment ald order is hereby quashed and set aside. The present appeal is accordingly allowed.... "

¶663

12.1) Similarly, tn A.P. Pensioners' Association case (reJerred supra.), it

¶664

has been held by the Hontrte Apex Court as under:

¶665

"35- In State of Punjab u. Boota Singhta, iL was stated

¶666

"7. On merits we find that the retirernent benefits rvhich are claimed by the respondent are benefits which are conferred by subsequent orders/ notifrcations. Therefore, persons who retired after coming into force of these notifications and orders are governed by different rules of retirement than those who retired under the old rules and were governed by the old rules. The two categories of persons, who retired, were governed by two different sets of rules. They cannot, therefore, be equated. Further, granting of additional benefits has financial also. Hence, specifying the date for the conferment of such additional benefits cannot be considered as arbitrary.

¶667

In State of l\tnjab u. Amar Nath Cogaln upon consideration of a large number of decisions, this Court opined that the decision of a State to limit the benefits only to employees who retired or died on or after a particutar date upon calculating the financial implications thereof was nerther irrational nor arbitrary. It was observed:

¶668

"28. ....[t is trite that, the hnal recommendations of the^pay Commission were not ipso facto binding on the Government, as the Government had to accept and implement the recommendations of the Pay Commission consistent with its financial position. This is precisely what the Government did. Such an action on the part of the Government can neither be characterized as irrational, nor as arbitrary so as to infringe Article 14 of the Constitution-"

¶672

The decisions of this Court^{whichhavebeen notrced on D S Nqkarau'} union of Indiat2 fot the^proposition that^{the financial irnplicationis one of the} relevant considerations lor the State^{to deny certain benefits to a class of} employees who retire on^{or beforea particular date.}

¶673

It is, therefore, beyond^{anyshadow of doubt that the hnancialrmplicatton} is a relevant critelion for tlle^{StateGovernment to determine as to what benehts} can be granted pursuant to or in^{furtheranceof the recommendationsmade by} PRC. PRC also said that^{while revision ofpayshalltake effectfrom 1 ?-1998,the} monetary benefit'.voutd be^{payabteonlyfrom 1' 4-1999.[f monetary trenefitwas} payable only from l-4-1999, atl rights to^get the^{benefits computedor1 thebasis} of the revised scale of^{pay would} only^{be for the purpose of payment of pay with} effect from 1 4-1999 or^payment of the^{recurring amount of pension rvitheffect} from that date.

¶675

4l. We, therefore, are of the opinion that the intention of^{the State was not to} grant any benefit :owards payment of gratuity even in relation^{to those employees} lvho had retired in between 1-7-1998 and 31 3^1999."

¶676

12.2) Similar issue fell for consideration^{of the Division Bench of erstwhile} Andhra Pradesh in W.P.No.3909O of 2Ol2 and batch^wherein utde^commorl order dated 17 .o4."2014, it has been^{held as under:}

¶677

"3O. In all the Government Orders, the word used is^'Government Servants' but not 'Pensione|s'. [f the intention of^{the Governmentis to extend the benefits} under a particular revision of pay^scale, then^{itmighthaveused the word} 'Pensioner'. In such a case, all the applicants^{acquired the status of'Pensioners'}

¶680

PK, J wl' Nos.l43lr 2O2l&barch

¶681

on the date of the revision of pay scales came into force, q,ould be entitled for the benefits. Hence, the Government consciously used the word ,Government Servant' so as to extend the benefits to the Government Servants who retired on a particular date and those who retired after that date, are not etigible for the benefits. There is no ambiguity in the Government Orders as to the persons entitled for the benefits under a particular revision of pay scale."

¶682

From all the above judgments, it is thus clear that the Government has to accept and implement the recommendations ot the pay Revision commission consistent with its fina,ciai condition. Such decision taken by the Government cannot be said to be arbitrary, irrationa_i or discriminatory.

¶683

l4l In view of the above settied proposition of law, this Court is of the view that the action of the respondent Government in fixing cut-off date for extending monetary beneftts arising on account of revision of pay scales cannot be interfered with and the rerief sought for by the petitioners cannot be granted.

¶684

Now, coming to the judgments relied by the learned counsel lor the petitioners are concerned, in D.S. Nakara case (reJen ed. supra), the Honble Supreme Court was dealing with a case where the Central Government while paying the pension to one set of retired servants based on the average emoluments during 36 months just preceding retirement, has issued a memo liberalizing the formula for computation of pension to another set of retired servants i.e. those who were in service as on

¶685

PK,.J lv l, Nos.l.r3l5 2021&bat.h

¶686

¶687

31.03.1979. In sucl-r a situation, the Hon'ble Supreme^{Court held that all} pensioners have equal right to receive the benefits of liberalized^pension scheme and pensioners form a class as a whole ald cannot be^micro- classified.

¶688

1. Similariy, in Hem.anth Kumar's case^(reJerred s-upra), the learned Single Judge was clealing with a case where the respondent-Bank has enhanced the pcnsioo benefit @ 1.50 times of pension and made the same applicable to those vrho u,ere on rolls of bank as on 0 1.04.2020 and retired thereafter ald denred the said benefit to those who retirerl prior to OI.O4.2O2O. In such a situation, the learned Single Judge was weighed '*'ith^{the fact that the very scheme therein itself was meantto provide} additional/ superann uation benefit to the employees, who already covered under the APCOB 'trmployees Performance Incentive cum Contributor Superannuation Bcnelit Scheme' and therefore the cut off date fixed for extending the enherrced pension does no[ have. any nexus to the object of the scheme and thereby held that they calnot be sustained.

¶689

15.2) Similarly, rn Mahara.shtr<r State Financial Corporation ExErnltlogees Associcrtion's case (reJerred. supra), the Hon'lcle Supreme Court was dealing with a case where the Government has denied to extend the benefrt of revision of pay scales to the retired employees while extending the same to the serving employees of Corporation. [n such a

¶690

PR. .J WP Nos 14315 2021&batch

¶691

¶692

situation, ttre Hon'ble Supreme Court held that the exclusion of retired employees, who retired between 01.01.2006 and 29.03.2010 on achieving their date of superannuation, is violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India.

¶693

15.3) Similarly, in All Md.nipur Pensioners Association's case (reJerred. supra), the Hon'ble Supreme Court was dealing with a case where the Government of Manipur has issued an ofhce memorandu m dated 21.O4.L999 revising the qualtum of pension and made the revision applicable only to those who retired on or after 01.01.1996. In such backdrop, the Hon'ble Supreme Court held that ali the pensioners belong to one class, therefore, by such classification / cu t-off date the equals are treated as unequa-ls and therefore such a classification which has no nexus with the object and purpose of revision of pension is unreasonable.

¶694

Having carefully gone through the above referred^judgments, this Court, wittr due respect, is in fult agreement in with the ratio laid down in those^judgments. But, in all the above^judgments, the Hon'ble Supreme Court was dealing with application of^payscales and^pension and^was weighed by the object and purpose of revision of^{payscales/pension} whereas in the present case, the Government has hxed cut-off date only for extending the monetary beneht in respect of^Encashment of^{lrave and} Gratuity that too for overcoming the financial^{implications.Further,due}

¶695

¶696

PK, J l!'P Nos. L4J l5 2O2t&barch

¶697

to fixation of the cut,off date, there is no deviation of object a,d purpose of revision o[ payscales;/ pension. In the present case, thc respondents have not extended the nlonetary benefit arising on account ol_ difference of Earned leave salar-y and Gratuity, which do not have any nexus with the rise in cost of living, r.r,hich ultimately weighed the Hon,ble Supreme Court in holding the above dicta with regard to pension.

¶698

171 In fact, in Alt Manipur pensioners Associqtion,s cd.se (referred supra| the Hontrle Supreme Court while referring to valid classihcation permissible under Arricle 16 of the Constitution of india has, held as under

¶699

"However, a valicl classification must be based on ajust objective. The result to be achieved b-y titc just obJective presupposes the choice for some for differential consideration / trcatm,:nt over others. A classihcatlon to be valid must necessarily satisfy two tests. Firsrly, the distinguishing rationale has to be bascd on a just objective and secorrcil,, the choice of differentiating one set of persorLs from another, must have a 16,qs6rr61e nexus to the objective sought to be achieved_"

¶700

In the instant case, for the purpose of achieving the object of extending the revised payscales/ pension to its serving/retired employees, duiy balancing the Iinancial implications on the state trxchequer, the Government, has prescribed a cut-off ditte, for extending the monetary benefits arising on account of enhanced Encashment of Leave a,-,d Gratuity, to the petitioners and other similarly situated persons, which admittedly do not have any impact on the pension being drawn by them and it also cannot be said

¶701

¶702

P(, J WP Nos 14315 2021&h,,.h

¶703

that the said action of the respondents is against the object/purpose of revision of payscales and pension. Therefore, the judgments relied by the petitioners are distinguishable on facts and no avail to them.

¶704
