In Brief
The Supreme Court dismissed appeals by bank employees challenging the High Court's decision that set aside writ petitions relating to pension and retirement benefits disputes. The Court found that the issues in this case were identical to those decided in Union Bank of India v. United Bank of India Retirees' Welfare Associations and others, decided on the same date. Applying the principle of consistency, the Court dismissed the appeals in terms of its judgment in the parallel Union Bank case, without detailed separate discussion.
