The Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court has ruled that an employee wrongly denied appointment due to government error cannot lose Old Pension Scheme benefits. The court upheld a tribunal’s decision, granting Raghu Singh Jandla notional seniority from his batchmates’ joining date. This ensures individuals aren’t penalized for administrative mistakes, affirming their rightful entitlements and seniority from the point of original eligibility.
