In Brief
Ram Deo Tiwari, a government employee, challenged the High Court's denial of relief regarding his pension calculation. The High Court had rejected his claim because no Rule or Scheme existed for counting work-charged service. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, holding that work-charged service must be included in computing qualifying service for pension purposes, relying on its prior judgment in Habib Khan v. State of Uttarakhand. The Court set aside the High Court order and directed the State to recalculate the appellant's pension to include the work-charged period.
