ORDER
The only question that arises for consideration is as to whether an employee, who retired on 30th June of a year or 31st December of a preceding year, is entitled to be extended the benefit of increment that falls due on 1st July or 1st January of the next year, as the case may be.
2. Since the issue involved in all these Original Applications is common in nature, they are being decided by way of a common order. Page 47 of 53

3. While the applicants in some of the cases have retired on 30th June, others retired on 31st December. They are aggrieved that they have not been granted the benefit of increment, which was otherwise due to them, only on the ground that by the time the increment became due, they were not in service.
4. Learned counsel for the applicants have relied upon the decision of Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Director (Admn, and HR) KPTCK and Ors. Vs C.P. Mundinamani & ors. bearing Civil Appeal No.2471 of 2023, decided on 11.04.2023 [2023 SCC Online SC 401] wherein the Hon'ble Supreme Court has held as under:-
"In view of the above and for the reasons stated above, the Division Bench of the High Court has rightly directed the appellants to grant one annual increment which the original writ petitioners earned on the last day of the service for rendering their services preceding one year from the date of retirement with good behaviour and efficiently. We are in complete agreement with the view taken by the Division Bench of the High Court. Under the circumstances, the present appeal deserves to be dismissed and is accordingly dismissed. However, in the facts and circumstances of the case, there shall be no order as costs."
[Emphasis supplied]
5. From perusal of the aforesaid judgment, it is clear that appellants have been directed to grant one annual increment which the original writ petitioners earned on the last day of their service for rendering their services preceding one year from the date of retirement with good behavior and efficiently. However, in the said judgment, Review Application (Dy. No.36418 of 2024) has been preferred by the Union of Page 48 of 53 ANAND 2025.06.18 PRAKASH 09:54:47 DUBEY +05'30' 49 India before Hon'ble Supreme Court on 12.08.2024 and Their Lordship on 18.12.2024 has dismissed the said RA.
6. Even in the case of Union of India & Anr. Vs. M. Siddaraj [Special Leave Petition (C) No.4722/2021] and relied upon by learned counsel for the applicant, Misc. Application No.2400/2024 has been filed before Hon'ble Supreme Court seeking clarification regarding modalities to be adopted while implementing its order dated 06.09.2024. While observing that the issue raised in the applications requires consideration insofar as the date of applicability of judgment dated 11.04.2023 in C.A. No.2471/2023 Union of India Vs. Siddaraj (supra) to third parties is concerned. Their Lordships issued following directions, by way of an interim order dated 06.09.2024, to prevent any further litigation and confusion:-
"a. The judgment dated 11.04.2023 will be given effect to in case of third parties from the date of the judgment, that is, the pension by taking into account one increment will be payable on and after 01.05.2023. Enhanced pension for the period prior to 30.04.2023 (erroneously mentioned as 31.04.2023 in the Order) will not be paid.
b. For persons who have filed writ petitions and succeeded, the directions given in the said judgment will operate as res judicata, and accordingly, an enhanced pension by taking one increment would have to be paid.
c. The direction in (b) will not apply, where the judgment has not attained finality, and cases where an appeal has been preferred, or if filed, is entertained by the appellate court.Page 49 of 53

d. In case any retired employee has filed an application for intervention/impleadment in Civil Appeal No.3933/2023 or any other writ petition and a beneficial order has been passed, the enhanced pension by including one increment will be payable from the month in which the application for intervention/impleadment was filed.
This interim order will continue till further orders of this Court. However, no person who has already received an enhanced pension including arrears, will be affected by directions in (a), (c) and (d)."

7. In furtherance to order dated 06.09.2024 passed in a Misc. Application No.2400/2024 before Hon'ble Supreme Court seeking clarification/guidance regarding modalities to be adopted while implementing its order dated 19.05.2023 passed in SLP(C) No.4722/2021 (Union of India Vs.

"5. Subsequently, Hon'ble Supreme Court vide Order dated 19.05.2023 dismissed SLP(C) No.4722/2021(Uol Vs M.Siddaraj) filed by M/o Railways on the subject matter with the observation that the appeals filed therein are squarely covered by the Order dated 11.04.2023 in CA No.2471 of 2023.M/o Railways filed a Miscellaneous Application (MA No.2400/2024) before the Hon'ble Supreme Court seeking guidance/ clarification regarding the modalities to be adopted while implementing its Order dated 19.05.2023.On 22.07.2024, while hearing the matter, Supreme Court ordered that the learned counsel for the Union of India shall examine as to whether Union of India needs to file an application in CA No.2471/2023 disposed of vide judgment dated 11.04.2023.After due legal consultations on the directions of the Apex Court, this Department filed a Petition (Dy.No.36418/2024) Page 50 of 53 ANAND 2025.06.18 PRAKASH 09:54:47 DUBEY +05'30' 51 before Supreme Court on 12.08.2024 seeking review of its Order dated 11.04.2023 which is pending before the Hon'ble Supreme Court.
6. Meanwhile, on 06.09.2024, while hearing MA No.2400/2024 filed by M/o Railways along with several Intervention Applications tagged therewith, Hon'ble Supreme Court took note of the pending Petition (Dy.No.36418/2024) filed by Union of India seeking review of its Order dated 11.04.2023 in CA No.2471/2023 in the matter. While observing that the issue raised in the applications requires consideration insofar as the date of applicability of the judgment dated 11.04.2023 in CA No.2471/2023 to third parties is concerned, Hon'ble Court issued following directions, by way of an Interim Order, to prevent any further litigation and confusion:
a. The judgment dated 11.04.2023 will be given effect to in case of third parties from the date of the judgment, that is, the pension by taking into account one increment will be payable on and after 01.05.2023.Enhanced pension for the period prior to 30.04.2023 (erroneously mentioned as 31.04.2023 in the Order) will not be paid.
b. For persons who have filed writ petitions and succeeded, the directions given in the said judgment will operate as res judicata, and accordingly, an enhanced pension by taking one increment would have to be paid.
c. The direction in (b) will not apply, where the judgment has not attained finality, and cases where an appeal has been preferred, or if filed, is entertained by the appellate court. d. In case any retired employee has filed any application for intervention/impleadment in Civil Appeal No.3933/2023 or any other writ petition and a beneficial order has been passed, the enhanced pension by including one increment will be payable from the month in which the application for intervention/impleadment was filed, This interim order will continue till further orders of this Court.
