Classification of retirees of BSNL VRS-2019 as distinct from those superannuating in normal course is a clear violation of Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution: Delhi High Court
The Delhi High Court held that the engagement of BSNL VRS-2019 retirees in any Central Public Sector Enterprises/Government department on contractual/consultancy basis, for which the retired employees on superannuation in due course were eligible for consideration, was not in violation of Clause 8 (iii) of BSNL Voluntary Retirement Scheme-2019.
