The petitioners are praying for issuance of directions to the respondents to grant them pension and pensionary benefits as per the 6th Pay Commission and to fix the pensionable pay of the petitioners in view of the recommendations of the 6th Pay Commission and to pay consequential arrears of pension and pensionary benefits from 20.10.2006 till today with interest. 2. The issue raised in the instant petitions is no more res-integra and is covered by the decision rendered by this Court in the matter of Savitribai Narssayya Guddapa vs. State of Maharashtra and others reported in 2014 (6) Mh.L.J. 438 . The Division Bench of this Court has directed the respondents to pay the petitioners before the court and other similarly situated employees the difference of pension and revised pension payable.

The Court has further declared that cut-off date as prescribed is unconstitutional. It has been further stated in the conclusive part of the order that the Court has not tested the rest of the provisions of the said Government Resolution, since those did not fall for consideration. 3.
