Supreme Court<\/strong>: In the case where the respondents who were initially engaged on casual basis and after one or two years were granted the temporary status and thereafter were regularized, had sought for full service benefit for the period during which they were working, having temporary status, the Court held that the\u00a0casual\u00a0worker\u00a0after\u00a0obtaining\u00a0temporary\u00a0status is\u00a0entitled\u00a0to\u00a0reckon\u00a050%\u00a0of\u00a0his\u00a0services\u00a0till\u00a0he\u00a0is regularised \u00a0 on \u00a0 a \u00a0 regular\/temporary \u00a0 post \u00a0 for \u00a0 the purposes\u00a0of\u00a0calculation\u00a0of\u00a0pension. It was further added that the casual worker before obtaining the temporary status is also entitled to reckon 50% of casual service for purpose of pension.<\/p>\n

The respondents in the present case were working in the Railways and hence, the Court said that those casual workers who are appointed to any post either substantively or in officiating or in temporary capacity are entitled to reckon the entire period from date of taking charge to such post as per Rule 20 of the Railway Services (Pension) Rules, 1993. The Court held that the Delhi High Court erred in holding that the worker is entitled to reckon 100% of his services for the purpose of calculation of pension and noticed that the perusal of Rules indicate that only half of the period of service of a casual labour after attainment of temporary status on completion of 120 days continuous service if it is followed by absorption in service as a regular Railway employee, counts for pensionary benefits.<\/p>\n
