The issue raised in these petitions is squarely covered by the decision of this Court at Principal Seat [Coram : Ravindra V. Ghuge and Abhay J. Mantri, JJ.] dated 18/03/2026, passed in Writ Petition No.15662/2025. 2. For the reasons stated in the said order, the writ petitions are partly allowed with following directions: (a) The petitioners would be entitled for monetary benefits / difference of pensionary benefits as per the actuals w.e.f. from their respective dates of superannuation, provided they have worked for 6 months or more in the last year up to their superannuation. (b) The pensionary benefits of the petitioners would be recalculated by including the annual increment in their last drawn salary prior to their superannuation and such recalculated pensionary benefits shall be payable to them. (c) Arrears if any, shall be paid to them within a period of 90 days. Many of the petitioners have approached belatedly before this Court and, therefore, akin to the orders passed in several matters, they would be not entitled for the interest component. (ABASAHEB D.
