It was on 17-12-1982, the constitution bench of the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice Y.V.Chandrachood pronounced the land mark judgment, which is considered as the “magna carta ” of pensioners, in the D.S.Nakara Vs Union of India case. The apex court declared that ” Pension is neither a bounty nor a matter of grace depending upon the sweet will of the employer and pension is not an exgratia payment but itis a payment for the past service rendered and a social welfare measure rendering social economic justice to those who in the hey day of their life ceaselessly toiled for the employer on an assurance that in their old age they would not be left in lurch”
