Summary of C.A. No. 003616/2005 (Union of India v. Y. Venkatachalam) The Supreme Court allowed the Union of India's appeal and set aside the High Court's order that had granted Venkatachalam (a retired High Court Judge appointed President of the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Pondicherry for four years on part-time basis) full salary, allowances, and perquisites for five years or until age 67. The Court held the High Court erred by granting benefits beyond the original appointment terms without addressing the legality of the termination notification. The High Court was directed to hear and decide all three pending writ petitions by one consolidated order within six months, uninfluenced by previous judgments.
