https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=313389 Prospective pensionary weightage for Project Casual Labour was limited to workers who acquired temporary status under the scheme effective from 1 January 1981. Earlier service could be counted only after the qualifying status was conferred; workers absorbed before that date could not claim the benefit for pre-scheme Project Casual Labour service. The temporal classification did not violate Article 14 because the benefit was newly introduced from a defined date, and the principle in D.S. Nakara did not apply to a new benefit restricted to eligible workers from its commencement. Pensionary weightage for pre-1981 Project Casual Labour service was therefore denied to workers absorbed earlier. en-us Tue, 28 Apr 1998 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 10 Apr 2024 15:56:06 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=313389 Prospective pensionary weightage for Project Casual Labour was limited to workers who acquired temporary status under the scheme effective from 1 January 1981.
