Retired IPS officers challenge Finance Act pension validation as discriminatory and seek implementation of prior pension award with arrears.
The Forum of Retired Indian Police Service Officers challenges Part IV of the Finance Act, 2025, which validates Central Civil Services pension rules and related expenditure principles, arguing the retrospective validation unlawfully revives provisions rejected by courts and discriminates among same-class pensioners by date of retirement; the petition names finance, home and law ministries, the Department of Pension and Pensioners' Welfare and the Department of Personnel and Training, and seeks declaration of unconstitutionality, implementation of a prior High Court order remitting pension from 2006 with arrears, and interest at 12% per annum.
