The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the Delhi High Court judgment which held that the old pension scheme (OPS) will be implemented in the Central Paramilitary Forces (CAPF).
During a brief hearing, a bench of Justices Sanjeev Khanna and Bela M Trivedi issued notice, stayed the operation of the order, and said, “In the meanwhile, there will be stay of operation of the impugned judgment to the extent it directs that the old pension scheme would be applicable to the para-military forces.”
“We, however, clarify that the petitioners shall abide by the Office Memorandum no. 57/05/2021-P&PW(B) dated 03.03.2023 issued by the Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, and to that extent, the operation of the impugned judgment has not been stayed,” they added.
