Case History
Case Summary: Shakuntala Devi v. State of Bihar The Supreme Court heard Shakuntala Devi's Special Leave to Appeal on 22 November 2002, regarding her entitlement to Contributory Provident Fund benefits. The Court granted leave and allowed the appeal, directing that the appellants receive CPF benefits effective 1 July 1986 (instead of 1 July 2002), recognizing they had been litigating since 1986 while other similarly-situated employees received benefits from 1967. The State of Bihar was ordered to contribute funds to the Welfare Board within six weeks, with the Board then disbursing payments to appellants within six weeks thereafter.
