Holding
The writ petition is disposed, but the petitioner may approach the authority for representation if unsatisfied with the settled amount.
Summary
Lal Bahadur Singh filed a writ petition seeking enhancement of his pension after his monthly salary was corrected. The Union of India contended that the pension had already been enhanced, thereby addressing the grievance. The petitioner argued that, despite the enhancement, the amount payable under the third ACP had not been calculated. The Court observed that a fresh cause of action arose concerning the third ACP calculation. Consequently, the petition was disposed, with the Court granting the petitioner liberty to file a representation before the concerned authority if dissatisfied with the settled amount.
Issues considered
- Whether the enhancement of the pension amount after salary correction satisfies the petitioner's grievance.
- Whether the amount payable under the third ACP must be calculated and awarded.
