Case Synopsis & Summary

The Kerala High Court, in W.P.(C) No. 24950 of 2020, deals with a batch of former FCIOEN Connectors Limited employees who petitioned for the grant of full Pension Scheme benefits under the Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO). The petitioners—twenty-two named employees—seek directions to permit the full pension benefits under the Pension Scheme. The respondents include the Union of India, the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner, and FCIOEN Connectors Limited, who are opposed to a broad interpretational expansion without due application of the governing law. The court recognises that the central issues relating to Pension Scheme benefits are now governed by a Supreme Court decision in Employees Provident Fund Organisation v. Sunil Kumar B. and others (2022) (2022 SCC Online SC 1521). Relying on that apex court pronouncement, the court disposes of the writ petition, directing that the petitioners’ claims and options be considered in accordance with the law laid down in the Sunil Kumar B. decision. The judgment is authored by Justice N. Nagareesh and is delivered on 30 July 2024. Exhibits attach pension payment orders reflecting ongoing benefit processes. The disposition ultimately constrains relief to be granted consistent with the Supreme Court’s ruling rather than as a standalone extension of the Pension Scheme.

Submissions & Arguments

Contentions of Appellants / Petitioners

The petitioners seek a direction to the Employees Provident Fund Organisation to permit the petitioners to opt for full Pension Scheme benefits. They rely on the controlling authority of the Supreme Court’s decision in Employees Provident Fund Organisation v. Sunil Kumar B. and others (2022) to support their entitlement, and they place reliance on pension payment order exhibits to demonstrate ongoing benefit processes.

Contentions of Respondents

The respondents contend that the petition should be resolved consistent with the apex court ruling cited (Sunil Kumar B.) and that the relief should be accorded strictly under the law as laid down, ensuring consistency with the Supreme Court’s interpretation of pension benefits under the scheme.
