Of late, it has been observed that large number of such cases of pre-01.01.2006 retiree Havildar granted Hony rank of Naib Subedar for grant of pension in terms of GoI, MoD letter dated 12.06.2009 were decided by the various Courts/AFTs.

Large number of such type of sanctions for deleting conditional sanction are being received in this office from Record Offices concerned for issuing Corr. PPO for deleting that Note of conditional sanction in respect of pre-01.01.2006 retiree Havildar granted Hony rank of Naib Subedar.

3. As large number of Corr. PPOs are to be issued in such cases without any financial bearing or other changes, as such, it has been decided by the competent authority that the note “The sanction will, however, be subject to the final outcome of appeal, if any filed before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India. In the event, the appeal is decided in favour of UoI, the petitioners shall be liable to refund the entire amount paid to him under the ibid sanction” as printed in the respective PPO of those pre-01.01.2006 retirees Havildars granted Hony rank of Naib Subedar issued in compliance of the Court/AFT orders, may be treated as deleted.
