MOIL Ltd.'s Pension Scheme Struck Down By Bombay HC As Discriminatory; Distinction Between Resignation And Superannuation Declared Arbitrary

The Bombay High Court struck down a discriminatory pension scheme implemented by MOIL Ltd., ruling that the distinction between resignation and superannuation was arbitrary and violated the principle of equality. The Court held that employees who resigned should not be denied pension benefits, as the differentiation between resignation and retirement lacked justification. The ruling set a precedent in ensuring that pension schemes are fair, non-discriminatory, and aligned with principles of equality and justice for all employees.
