A.N. Sachdeva and Ors. v. Maharshi Dayanand University and Ors. - (Supreme Court) (10 Aug 2015)

Being appointed or absorbed makes no difference to the service rendered

MANU/SC/0846/2015

Service

In a case involving pensionary benefits, the Court held that distinction between employees who have been absorbed or allocated and those who have been appointed directly could not be made. The Appellants employed with one university and were shifted to work at its regional centre. The regional centre subsequently became an independent university, and the Appellants were absorbed as employees of the new university. Noting that there was no break in the services rendered by the Appellants, the Court held that they were entitled to count their services at the previous university as qualifying service for the purpose of pension payable by the university formed later.
