New Delhi: The Supreme Court will consider on Monday the appeal filed by the Ministry of Labour against the Kerala high court’s verdict which allowed high pension in accordance to the salary of the employees.
The three-member bench headed by Justice U U Lalit will also hear the review petition of the EPFO (Employee Provident Fund Organisation) against the supreme court verdict that upheld the high court verdict. The apex court will consider about 50 petitions that pointed out the verdict allowing high pension to the employees.
The central government will state in the top court that full pension cannot be given to the employees. The Centre had approached the supreme court the other day requesting to stay the high court order.
In the new appeal filed by the Centre, it has been pointed out that the limit of Rs 15,000 was determined targeting the financially and socially backward people. If the verdict revoking the limit was implemented, there will be a shortage of Rs 15,28,519.47 crore in the EPS.
