V. KASTURI vs MANAGING DIRECTOR, S.B.I.,BOMBAY — C.A. No. 5048/1998

Case Summary: V. Kasturi v. Managing Director, S.B.I., Bombay Court Decision: The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal, holding that he was not entitled to pension benefits under the amended Rule 22(1)(c) of the State Bank of India Employees Pension Fund Rules. The Court established that since the appellant had retired in 1984 as a non-pensioner (ineligible under existing rules requiring 25 years of service), the subsequent 1986 amendment reducing the requirement to 20 years created a new pension scheme that applied only prospectively to then-serving members, not to those who had already left service.
