The amount of pension shall also not be reduced and the appellant shall be paid pension as fixed earlier at the time of his retirement. It is pertinent to note that the Government had framed such a policy under its G.O. dated 16th January, 2007 and therefore, the respondent authorities could not have taken a different view in the matter of re-fixing pension of the appellant. and allowed the civil appeal =SUSHIL KUMAR SINGHAL …APPELLANT VERSUS PRAMUKH SACHIV IRRIGATION DEPARTMENT & OTHERS ....RESPONDENTS=2014 (April.Part ) http://judis.nic.in/supremecourt/filename=41431
