Chennai:
The Madras High court has rejected the petition of Atomic Energy Commission and director of Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam, challenging the Central Administrative Tribunal order to provide GPF and other benefits under Central civil service (pension) rules 1972 to 16 employees absorbed as temporary workers in 1999.
Justice N Paul Vasanthakumar and Justice M Sathiyanaryanan after hearing the petitions from Atomic Energy Commission and director of Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam which challenged the order to extend the benefit of pension under old pension scheme with effect from December 1999, said that the respondents have been appointed as casual labourers and subsequently conferred temporary status from December, 31, 1999.
"Merely because they have been absorbed permanently in 2005 in Group D service, they cannot be denied of their statutory right," the judges stated.
"The tribunal has approached the issue in a proper perspective and we confirm the said findings of tribunal," they stated.
