STATE OF GOA vs YVETTE PEREIRA A.E. COSTA — C.A. No. 7566/1996

The Supreme Court allowed the State of Goa's appeals, holding that respondents appointed after December 20, 1961 (Goa's liberation) were not "absorbed employees" under the Goa, Daman & Diu (Absorbed Employees) Act, 1965, and thus ineligible for pay-scales prescribed for Portuguese-era posts. However, the Court permitted retention of amounts already paid under the erroneous 1989 government order, with implications for pension fixation.
