    Case Summary: WPA 2728/2026 The High Court at Calcutta dismissed the petitioner's writ petition challenging the rejection of terminal benefits. The court held that although the petitioner had completed 10+ years of service before his 2015 termination, his subsequent fresh engagement in June 2024 (following a 2022 appellate order) constituted a new appointment rather than reinstatement. Since the petitioner served only six months from this fresh engagement before retiring on 31 December 2024, he failed to meet the minimum 10-year continuous service requirement for terminal benefits and was therefore ineligible. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
