Kavita Gulati Batra vs Union Of India Through Its on 17 December, 2013
1987 was to be followed scrupulously, the University could
not have granted subsequent option of switch over. But
2469 employees were allowed to ―come over‖ to GPF after
the cut-off date. Going by various communications placed
before the Court, such employees were allowed full benefits
under GPF. The case of the present respondent employees
was not, in any way, different from such 2469 employees.
34.3. The University being a Central University, its
employees would rank on similar footing as that of the
organisations like IITs and AIIMS. If extensions were
granted to employees of the IITs, the employees of the
University were also entitled to similar benefit.
34.4. The Division Bench was, therefore, justified in
setting aside the view taken by the learned Single Judge of
the High Court in Shashi Kiran [Shashi Kiran v. Union of
India, WP (C) No. 5759 of 2010 sub nom Kanta
Batra v. Union of India, 2014 SCC OnLine Del 2797] batch
of cases but affirming the view in other two batches.
