Bombay High Court

VIKAS KISHANRAO KAMBLEversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS

Disposal
DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The petitioner is not entitled to a pension under the old scheme and the petition is dismissed.

Summary

The petitioner, Vikas Kishanrao Kamble, filed a writ petition seeking a pension under the old pension scheme. The Court noted that this issue had already been decided by a Full Bench judgment. It was admitted that the post in question had not received a grant until 2005, rendering the petitioner ineligible for the old scheme. The matter was found to be covered by the order dated 09/08/2019 in Writ Petition No.2894/2014 and related petitions. Consequently, the Court held that there was no surviving claim in the present petition and disposed of it.

Issues considered

  • Whether the petitioner is entitled to a pension under the old pension scheme
  • Whether the earlier Full Bench judgment and the order in Writ Petition No.2894/2014 bar the present petition
