    Case Summary: WP/6965/2025 Court Decision: The High Court of Bombay (Aurangabad Bench) dismissed BSNL's writ petitions and upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's orders directing BSNL to release pension and pensionary benefits to retired employees. The court held that BSNL cannot withhold pension merely due to non-submission of caste validity certificates, as no statutory provision authorizes such withholding and the employees' caste claims were never adjudicated during their service tenure. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
