THE GEN.MANAGER(PENSION DEPT) CENT.BANK vs MAHENDRA KUMAR GUPTA . — C.A. No. 5765/2007

Summary: C.A. No. 005765/2007 The Supreme Court dismissed Central Bank of India's appeal and upheld the High Court's decision that employee Mahendra Kumar Gupta is entitled to pension benefits from September 29, 1995. The Bank had denied pension claiming Gupta's option form contained an altered date, but the Court found no prior communication of this objection to Gupta, leaving him reasonably believing he was a valid optee during the extended pension scheme period (Sept 29, 1995–Jan 26, 1996). The appeal was dismissed with no order as to costs. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
