Supreme Court Upholds Pension Deduction in Post-Retirement Re-Employment Salaries
The Supreme Court ruled that deducting pension earned from previous government service from the salary of post-retirement appointments does not violate the principle of equal pay for equal work. The court clarified that this deduction temporarily withholds the pension during the new appointment without withdrawing it. The ruling overturned a 2010 High Court decision that had invalidated the regulation. The court emphasized that officials accepting re-employment with knowledge of such rules cannot later challenge them.
