Orders
Case Summary: State of Punjab v. Ajit Singh (Dead) Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed Punjab's appeal on February 8, 2024, upholding lower court decisions that granted respondent Ajit Singh (now represented through legal representatives) two additional years of service credit. Singh, retired at age 58 in 1989 after Pepsu merged with Punjab, was deemed entitled to retire at age 60 under Section 115(7) of the States Reorganization Act, 1956, which protected pre-merger service conditions from adverse changes. Key Finding: The Court held that pension denial constitutes recurring cause of action, making limitation inapplicable, and the State bore responsibility to protect Singh's original service conditions. All pending applications were disposed of. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
