UNION OF INDIA vs JAI DEV WIG — C.A. No. 4247 - 4248/2001

The Supreme Court allowed the Union of India's appeal and held that Dr. Jai Dev Wig and Dr. M.S. Sekhon, employees of the Post Graduate Institute (an autonomous body created by Parliament), are not "Government servants" and therefore not entitled to the age relaxation benefits granted to government employees under the 1981 Office Memorandum. The Court set aside the High Court and Tribunal orders granting them such benefits, though clarified that any already-conferred benefits need not be withdrawn.
