Case Summary: The Supreme Court disposed of the special leave petition on 28/03/2008 regarding VRS benefits owed to respondent Bhuwan Chandra Pandey. The Court noted that State of Uttaranchal had already paid the VRS benefits as directed by the Court's earlier order dated 17/11/2003, resolving the matter insofar as the respondent was concerned. The Court held that the dispute regarding liability between Uttaranchal and Uttar Pradesh (whether final allocation had occurred) was an inter-state matter to be resolved between those states, and Uttaranchal may pursue recovery against U.P. in accordance with law if it wishes to shift responsibility.
