The following is a summary of a legal case. The Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) refused to provide an annual increment to its employees on their retirement day, arguing that they were not in service on the day the increment was earned. The employees, disagreeing with the decision, filed a writ petition asserting their entitlement to the annual increment. Although the single judge dismissed the case, the Division Bench of the Karnataka High Court reversed the decision on appeal and ordered KPTCL to grant the annual increment.
