West Bengal State Electricity ... vs West Bengal State Electricity Board ... on 17 September, 2021
Mr Dutta states that a judgment of
the Delhi High Court in WP (C) No. 3308 of 2020 (Hitesh Bharadwaj vs.
Ministry of Finance, Union of India & Ors.) dated 1st June, 2020 has
negated a challenge to the said circular. He also makes reference to the
office memorandum dated 28th August, 2020 on the Periodic Review of
9
Central Government Employees for amending Rule 56 of the Fundamental
Rules and Rule 48 of the CCS (Pension), 1972, whereby a government
servant may be required to retire in the public interest after 30 years of
qualifying service. Therefore, it cannot be contended that the terms and
conditions of service of an employee working with the appellants ought never
to be varied to their disadvantage.
