Headnote
Public Service Commission — Pay on appointment after retirement.
Regulation 7(2) of the Uttarakhand Public Service Commission (Conditions of Service) Regulations, 2004 permits the Governor to determine whether service pension is to be kept in abeyance and whether the pay of the Chairperson or Member should be reduced accordingly. The pension entitlement revives on completion of the tenure. The adjustment does not offend the proviso to Article 318 or the principle of equal pay for equal work. The High Court erred in striking down the provision. (Paras 7–8, 13–14)
