What Supreme Court said on denial of pensionary benefits to 'temporary' government employees

The Supreme Court ruled that temporary government workers are entitled to pension benefits under the General Provident Fund (GPF) scheme if they have served for a significant period. The court held that long-term temporary employees should not be denied pension benefits merely because they were not regularized. The judgment extends pension rights to a broader category of government employees, ensuring that those who have dedicated years of service are rewarded with financial security in retirement. The ruling emphasizes the importance of recognizing the contributions of temporary workers and upholding their rights to post-retirement benefits.
