Ram Kumar And Ors vs Union Of India And Ors on 21 February, 1991
But the judgment of Apex Court in Ram Kumar's case was reviewed by a Bench of three Judges vide Ram Kumar and Ors. v. Union of India, 1996(1) SLJ 116(SC) which was unfortunately not brought to the notice of Supreme Court while deciding the said subsequent cases supra and therefore the decision cited by the learned Counsel for the respondents including the one quoted therein would be per incurium. The main ground of the review in the said case was that the correct material was not placed before the Hon'ble Court and the respondents themselves issued specific circular for grant of pensionary benefits to such employees. It is the settled position of law that if a decision is reviewed, the review judgment shall prevail over the main judgment.
