Karnataka HC judgement on 5 yrs additional service to SVRS pensioners of State Bank of Mysore decided favourably

Our group member Shri Prasad C.N. has informed that Karnataka HC has given judgement in  pensioners' favor .Congratulations on the hard , long fought court battle .His letter is reproduced below

Dear friends,

A long wait of 8 years is finally over with a favorable verdict. The Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka has delivered judgment allowing our both prayers, viz., Notional addition to the extent of 5 years of service for those who retired under SBMVRS - 2001 (SVRS) and calculating pension based on pay drawn during last 10 months prior to retirement (not adding DA upto 1616 points to 6th BPS pay). The Hon'ble High Court has ordered  :

a.    Payment of pension by adding (maximum of ) 5 years of notional service as available under Regulation 29 of SBM Pension Regulations to those who retired under SBMVRS (SVRS) - 2001

b.   Calculating Basic pension based on 'Pay' of last 10 months before retirement from the date of retirement to 30.04.2005 and consequent Commutation of pension.  Since all the petitioners are those who retired under SBMVRS - 2001, this judgement is applicable to them.  However, every
one of those who retired during the period 1.4.1998 to 31.10.2002 are eligible for this benefit.    However, pension based on last 10 months pay is being paid from 01.05.2005.  Consequently, those who have completed more than 32 years of service and retired between   1.4.1998 & 31.10.2002 are entitled to arrears of pension & commutation.  But, thereafter, pension gets reduced on account of recovery of commutated portion of pension, as they are already in receipt of revised pension.

        Arrears have to be paid within 90 days, failing which, interest at 6% is payable from the date of judgement.

        Copy of the judgment would be uploaded by us, immediately after it is made available to us.

         Thanking you,

     With regards,
