The Court also recorded that the respondents did not deny the allegation that the employees in Nizamia Tibbi College, which is second college of Unani Medicine functioning in the State, was extended the benefit of Revised Pension Rules. Against the said

Then, the matter went up to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court also dismissed the Special Leave Petitions confirming the order passed in the writ petitions.
