S.V.NAGARAJAN (DEAD) THR. LRS. vs UNION OF INDIA MINISTRY OF FINANCE THROUGH THE SECRETARY — C.A. No. 1112/2011

Case Summary: C.A. No. 1112/2011 S.V. Nagarajan (deceased through legal representatives) v. Union of India & Ministry of Finance In C.A. No. 1112/2011, the Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal challenging a pay scale upgradation denial. The court held that since the upgradation benefits granted to the appellant's junior colleagues had already been withdrawn, the appellant's claim to upgradation based on that ground was defunct. The appeal was dismissed on February 11, 2020. In the related C.A. No. 1113/2011, the court partially allowed the appeal. While upholding that past payments already made toward upgraded pay and pensionary benefits would not be recovered, the court rejected the High Court's direction to continue pension payments based on upgraded pay. The court ordered that from the date of judgment onwards, pension be recalculated without upgradation benefits, as the upgradation itself was held unlawful.
