Orders
The Gauhati High Court dismissed the Union of India's appeals and upheld lower court judgments ordering payment of contractually agreed remuneration (₹48,000 and ₹80,000 monthly) to two retired defence employees. The court held that the employer unlawfully unilaterally altered contractual terms by issuing a 2020 memorandum deducting pension from fixed salaries, without applying this policy uniformly across other Armed Forces Tribunals, thereby violating contract sanctity and requiring payment of arrears with 12% interest. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
