As per case facts, a retired employee of Central Warehousing Corporation challenged a decision that reduced his emoluments and withheld pensionary benefits, arguing that his pay fixation in IDA scales ... was undone by a later circular after his retirement. He contended this was discriminatory and sought payment based on a prior order. The Single Judge allowed his petition, leading the Corporation to file this appeal. The question arose whether the High Court should interfere with the Single Judge's order, which had directed the payment of arrears and addressed the validity of the subsequent circular. Finally, the High Court dismissed the appeal, upholding the payment of arrears to the petitioner with interest as per the earlier pay fixation order. It clarified that the challenged circular, issued after his retirement, was not binding on him, thus modifying the Single Judge's blanket declaration of the circular as illegal and arbitrary.
