STATE OF M.P.. vs MOHAMMAD SADIQ — SLP(C) No. 35733/2011

Case Summary: State of M.P. v. Mohammad Sadiq The Supreme Court dismissed the State of Madhya Pradesh's Special Leave Petition on 14 December 2011 on the ground of delay (246 days). The case involved whether Mohammad Sadiq, a 42-year government employee (1960-2002) initially appointed as a daily wager and regularized in 1996, was entitled to pension. Lower courts held his pre-regularization service counted toward the 10-year qualifying service requirement, but the petitioner state contended pre-regularization service should not be counted. The Court left the underlying question of law open while dismissing the petition for procedural delay without satisfactory explanation.
