Sheth Kirankumar Krushnadas vs State of Gujarat

Bench: 1 — Biren Vaishnav

In Brief

A workcharge clerk sought pension and retirement benefits calculated from his initial appointment date in 1985, though he had been removed from service and later reinstated in 1991. The court found that he was similarly situated to co-employees who had already obtained such relief through prior court orders. Applying settled principles that daily-rated workcharge employees are entitled to continuous service credit from their initial appointment date for pension purposes, the court allowed his petition. He was granted pension and gratuity calculated on the same basis as similarly situated co-employees, with all monetary benefits payable at 6% interest from his retirement date, and arrears to be paid within ten weeks."
