"46. Paragraph 2.3 of the resolution is
regarding pensionary benefits. It is indicated
that pensionary and other retirement benefits
admissible to State Government servants shall
be admissible to such employees for the period
of their service under Government with effect
from 7-6-1994. The remaining aided service
shall be governed by the Orissa Aided
Educational Institution Employees Retirement
Benefit Rules, 1981. What is a pension? What
are the goals of pension? What public interest
or purpose, if any, it seeks to serve? If it does
seek to serve some public purpose, is it
thwarted by such artificial division or
retirement pre and post a certain date? The
Supreme Court has considered these questions
in the case of D.S. Nakara v. Union of India, AIR
1983 SC 130.
