In Brief
This appeal concerned whether employees engaged under the Adult Education and Non-Formal Education Project could count their prior service for pension purposes after being absorbed into Government service when the Non-Formal Education Scheme ended. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that such service could not be counted because the employees were absorbed as fresh appointees without recognition of seniority or past service benefits. The State Government's notification explicitly stated past service would not be recognized. The Court found no error warranting interference and dismissed all appeals."
