    Summary The Bombay High Court (Nagpur Bench) dismissed Maharashtra State's challenge to the Administrative Tribunal's order, upholding that Dr. Murlidhar Wadekar is entitled to pay protection and salary revision by counting his earlier service from August 2001 to December 2011, along with old pension scheme benefits. The court found the Tribunal's findings justified based on prior High Court precedents recognizing that employees appointed to substantive vacancies with fair selection processes deserve service continuity benefits.
