Service Law and Arrears of Pension : Supreme Court highlights legal principles
Dealing with a case of disability pension, it has been held that "where the State itself, by a conscious policy decision, has determined that arrears of disability pension are payable from a specified cut off date, it is not open to it to subsequently resile and contend that such arrears ought to be confined to a period of three years preceding the claim."
