T. RAMAKRISHNIAH versus STATE OF KARNATAKA

T. RAMAKRISHNIAH versus STATE OF KARNATAKA

The appellant's terms and conditions of service are entirely governed by the Mysore Sales Tax Rules. Rule 64(6) explicitly bars non-official members from pensionary benefits; the Civil Service Rules do not apply in the presence of such a special provision. The appointment was not up to a maximum age nor whole-time; thus, superannuation pension under Civil Service Rules is not available.
