    The Bombay High Court set aside the March 18, 2025 rejection order of RCF ex-employees' pension contribution application, finding it was a cryptic order lacking proper reasoning and failing to consider representations from the establishment and union. The court remanded the matter for de novo redetermination within 12 weeks, requiring the respondents to provide hearings to all parties and base rejections only on substantial, justifiable reasons while allowing applicants to rectify minor deficiencies. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
