Judgments on Service Benefits and Arrears - Courts have consistently held that, in final judgments, no restrictions have been placed on granting full arrears and future pro-rata pension to petitioners, emphasizing that such orders are of general application and in rem, applicable to all servicemen, even if initially passed in specific cases. This is supported by references to multiple judgments and orders, including those citing Srivastava supra and orders passed till 2021.

Legal Principles on Retrospective and Prospective Laws - The courts have reiterated that laws or rules generally operate prospectively; retrospective operation is an exception and must be explicitly stated. This principle was referenced in context of appointments and legal provisions, citing SCC judgments (e.g., 2021 10 SCC 210) and distinguishing between current law and past orders.

Impact of Final Orders and Specific Judgments - Finality of judgments is emphasized, with courts dismissing petitions that challenge orders aligned with earlier rulings. For instance, petitions by respondents were dismissed, affirming benefits granted under previous orders, and confirming the applicability of orders of general application. Kumar S Krishnamurthy vs M/o Finance - Central Administrative Tribunal
Case-specific and Interim Orders - Certain judgments, such as those involving PET/PST conducted by Delhi Police or specific high court orders (e.g., Punjab and Haryana High Court in LPA No. 930/2018), are distinguished from broader rulings. The courts clarified that such judgments do not impact the general legal position of petitioners in similar cases. Interim orders passed in other OA cases are also referenced as relevant to ongoing proceedings.

Analysis and Conclusion:
The overall legal stance as of March 2021 indicates that courts favor granting full arrears and future pension benefits to servicemen, treating such orders as of general application and in rem. The principle of law suggests that unless explicitly stated, laws and orders operate prospectively, but courts have shown willingness to apply benefits retroactively where final judgments have been passed. Previous judgments, including those of the Supreme Court and high courts, reinforce this approach, and petitions challenging such benefits are typically dismissed when aligned with established legal principles and final orders.
