In Brief
The appellant, Ram Deo Tiwari, challenged the High Court's rejection of his pension claim because the State of U.P. had not framed a formal Rule or Scheme recognizing work-charged service. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, holding that work-charged service must be counted towards qualifying service for pension computation, regardless of whether the State has enacted a specific rule. The Court set aside the High Court's order and directed the State to recalculate the appellant's pension including his period of work-charged service.
